Firewall hacking secrets for security professionals enables both penetration testers and security professionals to plan and execute better testing of firewalls.

Unlike most 'hacking' books, we discuss all aspects of testing a firewall covering the scope of testing, expectations, policy and process reviews, design, strategy, implementation, operational support, third party managed firewalls and more.

Using the information provided, you can create a more meaningful scope for your test plan which is both relevant and ensures the results of the testing are much more trustworthy reducing the risk of having a false sense of security from poor testing or test plans.

Anyone considering testing firewalls, wether they are a penetration tester, hacker or security manager will benefit as the book provides a minimum list of items to consider for testing, you can be confident that your testing is not only good quality, it can also help evaluate the quality of the testers being hired or ensure any in house testing is conducted to a reasonable standard too.

Finally, the book is 'vendor neutral' with a summarised checklist for easy test plan creation which can be modified accordingly for any scenario or solution.
