This is off-topic, so followups should be off-list.  In case any other
readers are in the same predicament, one more and more common as firms move
toward network access, I recommend subscribing to both the Firewalls and
Academic Firewalls mail list.  Discussions there revolve around network
security, techniques, tools, and vulnerabilities.  To subscribe to
Firewalls, send an email to majordomo@GreatCircle.com containing in the
body: subscribe firewalls.  For Academic Firewalls, send an email to
majordomo@net.tamu.edu containing in the body:  subscribe academic-firewalls.

The "bible" for this topic, required reading for anyone pretending to
maintain network security, is "Firewalls and Internet Security" by Cheswick
and Bellovin, Addison-Wesley (1994).  In addition to containing invaluable
technical information, this book has pointers to sites from which security
tools may be downloaded.
