I guess Ben was talking about more detailed but yet
coherent/general/precise/...
papers/books/...
Your papers are nice, but they are short. yes, that make'em readable
easily, but
we insomniac people love to have long papers/books to read :)
The BIF book (I mean "Building Internet FWs") is good, but in my opinion is
too old
and contains concepts that are of no interest or are no more true. the
discussion
about proxies assume those old non transparent proxies, als, the book talks a
lot about old protocols that are seldom used, but not about those new
frustrating
inventions that seem to have been designed with anti-security in mind/
(that doesn't make it a bad book, I am simply looking for perfection:)
