Description:

The Firewall Tester, is a tool designed for testing firewalls filtering policies and Intrusion Detection System. Basically ftester is made of a packet generator tool (ftest) and a sniffer (ftestd), the first script injects custom packets with a signature in the data part while the sniffer listens for such marked packets, the comparison of the sniffer logs with the injector ones permits the identification of firewall filtering rules. Unlike common firewall testing tools or packet generators ftester is capable of generating network traffic that will looks like real connections to the firewall or IDS system tested, this feature allows us to test stateful inspection firewalls (like netfilter or ipfilter) and IDS (like snort).
