Wiley it is, then...

Yeah, I'd look for the Wiley book, that's the best "Get it up an running" book I've read off hand. I got it at B&N, there are a numbe ro fothers, and I'd be willing to bet that there is an excellent O'Reilly book for this, but I just didn't have the cash for the O'Reilly. I'd also get on the firewalls mailing list if you are going to be spending any serious amount of time on this little monster. They are a HUGE help and are usually very cordial to newbies. Depending upon what you want to do and what platform you choose there are other lists and such that concentrate strictly on walls from a specific discipline, I know there are bsd specific and Linux specific lists.
I'd also put some time into an IDS, your firewall is a good start, but your IDS can really be a life saver in the event of a break in, or just any sort of strangeness, we used Snort to find and root out the worm infected Win systems where I work.
I know this sounds like a mountain, and there is a lot ot take in when you start, but it's do-able, no doubt that I've seen some pretty non-technical people put together a reasonable firewall and security setup with just a bit of help and a lot of reading.

HTH,

prads2snort

PRADS2SNORT(1)							    networking							    PRADS2SNORT(1)

NAME

       prads2snort - Snort autotuning of Frag3 and Stream5

SYNOPSIS

	  prads2snort -i /var/log/prads-asset.log -o /etc/snort/host_attributes.xml -d linux -v

DESCRIPTION

       PRADS is a Passive Real-time Asset Detection System.

       It  passively  listen to network traffic and gathers information on hosts and services it sees on the network. This information can be used
       to map your network, letting you know what services and hosts are alive/used, or can be used together with your favorite IDS/IPS setup  for
       "event to host/service" correlation.

       Gathering  info about your hosts in real-time, will also let you detect assets that are just connected to the network for a short period of
       time, where a active network scan (nmap etc.) would take long time, and not common to run continually, hence missing the asset.

       The initial goal of implementing PRADS, was to make the host_attribute_table.xml for Snort (automatically).

       PRADS2SNORT is the tool that does this!

OPTIONS

       -i,--infile <file>
	      file to feed prads2snort.pl

       -o,--outfile <file>
	      file to write host_attribute data to (host_attribute.xml)

       -d,--default <os>
	      set Default OS if unknown (linux,bsd,macos,windows)

       -v, --verbose
	      prints out OS, frag, stream and confidence of asset

       -h, --help
	      this help message

       --version
	      show prads2snort.pl version

PROBLEMS

       1. Better mapping of less used apps to their correct snort attributes or drop them.
