Toolkit for Testing Firewalls

Toolkit for Testing Firewalls

am 16.01.2007 04:20:22 von Will

We are doing some testing on the Kerio Server Firewall on Windows 2003, and
I would like to know if there is a standard toolkit of testing tools that we
could use against it to benchmark some features. I want a tool that would
from the command line let us impersonate a different source IP and source
mac address to see if we can get the firewall to correctly identify spoofed
traffic. I assume these things are a dime-a-dozen in the hacker
community. Is there anything commercial or at least some well known
distributions that can easily be authenticated to avoid spyware?

There are a bunch of tool out there , i normally use HPING3 or netcat
or netperf.

All of them are scriptable , hping3 has its own one while the others
has to be scripted from shell, and all of them let you test a lot of
different stuffs on your fw. Hping3 is probably the best and most
flexible but even the most complex to use ... and still in beta AFAIK.
