Hi Colin,

I work for Blade and just thought I would give you a quick bit of info on the
product,

Firewall Informer was purpose built to test firewall rule sets, which it does by
replaying protocol traffic between two network cards on a Windows PC. Both
network cards are stealthed and are able to communicate with each other without
any protocols bound to either interface.

Effectively the application allows you to simulate a true client / server
communication stream simulating any source and destination ip address replaying
protocol traffic using any port information. You are also able to control the
speed of throughput, indicate if you think a check should succeed or fail, this
is really useful if you want to test your firewall policy and the inverse of it.

Let me know if you would like me to have a chat with you further about the
application, the eval you have downloaded is a perpetual one so it will not
expire.

Regards
Matt

Hi, Can anyone recommend good products for testing firewall rulesets? I have
searched on the web and only come up with one, Firewall Informer from Blade,
