I used a book by W. Cheswick and S Bellovin, 'Firewalls and Internet
Security: Repelling the Wily Hacker' in some research I did. It is quite
informative and the authors, (from AT&T), clearly have a sound working
knowledge of Unix/Internet/Security etc. This book also provided me with
many links to other information/sites.

One of the authors, Bill Cheswick, has a web page where you could
contact him for more info:
