Hi,

I don't know if you are only interested in commercial products but there are some open source/freeware tools that can help:

ftester - This package can be found at PacketStorm and is designed for fw testing.

OSSTMM - The OSSTMM manual (available at www.isecom.com) has a section detailing a methodology that should be used when auditing a firewall.

There are also a number of other packet creation tools that can aid you in a audit. A complied list of tools is available here: http://www.isecom.com/projects/operationaltools.htm#fra

I hope you are cli inclined.

Later,
Alaric
