RE: CCIE Security booklist

Yup... I own that one Farrukh! I've read it many times... Hucaby himself was a beta tester for the 8.x code.

It's the softcover from December 2007

:)

Dear Rick

I stand corrected regarding the Hucaby book. I forgot that the second
editiont covers 8.x (at least the initial software release). I own a hard
copy of the first one and forgot about the new one. Anyway that kind of
explains the earlier SAFARI recommendation. This is a sample chapter about
the 'clutter' mentioned earlier:
