starting guide for asm
i was wondering if anyone knew of a good beginner's guide to asm? we're eval'ing it right now and none of the documentation i've found is very useful.
I had/have the same issue, the best I could find were the two F5 links below. The best way I found learning was building a virtual edition with ASM, then build a windows client and server, and put "WebGoat" on the server to test ASM. It took some time but it allows you to build an ASM security policy and test against it using WebGoat as a target. Hope this help and maybe someone will have better resources.
