Iorenzo;
I would recommend downloading CyberCop Scanner and pointing it at both the
internal (trusted) and external (un-untrusted) interface of your firewall.

Hello everyone.
My name is lorenzo Chiavacci, I am a network consultat with a company in
Florence, Italy.
I have subscribed to the IDS mailing list a while ago and I have been
reading
emails to get an understanding of what is being discussed on this list.
Part of my work is to help customers understand if they systems are secure
enough and sometimes I am asked by customers to check if a security software
(i.e. a firewall) that has been installed by someone else is secure enough
or
there are some flaws in it.
I have taken a look at the FAQ of this list and there are mentions of some
utilities that could be used to test an installation.
Could anyone tell me how to try and test the security of a firewall by using
any
of these utilities and where to look for them?
I understand that this may sound like an hacker trying to learn how to do
his
job but I doubt a real hacker would write to a distribution list for help.
Thank you very much.
