We employ TrafficIQ. It is a commercial product that really pushes a
firewall and tests how well it reacts to attacks etc. Basically it Provides
stateful testing capabilities for the evaluation of packet filtering
devices. It also it has very good reporting functionality.

Here are some high points..

- Test firewalls, intrusion prevention / detection systems, routers,
switches and virtually any in-line packet filtering device.

- Design simple or complex testing scenarios which can easily be created,
saved and shared.

- Reduces business risk by testing network devices with real and accurate
traffic streams.

Hi guys,

I'm new to the list and been reading your email archives but
i have my own question how to test your firewall if its really secured.

Our IT director is really paranoid and he's not confident if our
current firewall security is really secured.

I already presented a NMAP/Nessus audit logs and i even
show to him the activity logs of our ACL that deny/drops
everything from the internet and permit only the basic applications.

Is there any other tools that can penetrate/test the firewall vulnerability?

Thanks,
rocky
