PIX....

Ame M

how can i test the PIX 513 ????

Paul Boz

Get one and configure it?

What are you asking? How do you simulate one? How do you test its capabilities? How do you test the security?

Ame M

let's start by simulation....
NetBoson doesn't include any pix
how can i simulate it???

Paul Boz

As far as I know there are no Pix emulators or simulators. You'll more than likely have to spend some money (you can get older models for under $300 on ebay).

Ame M

i already have one
how do i test it capabilities

Paul Boz

Install it in a test network and configure it.

Ame M

i mean how can i simulate an attack on it??

Paul Boz

What sort of attack? Just do something that violates the policies that you set up on the firewall and it'll test whether it works or not.

Here is a stress test traffic generator to test what kind of load your firewall can handle:

Network traffic emulator generates traffic to stress test servers, routers and firewalls
Nsasoft Network Traffic Emulator generates IP / ICMP / TCP / UDP traffic from clients to server to stress test servers, routers and firewalls under heavy network load. It is a very simple and fast program which can simulate client activity. The tool is designed with a user-friendly interface and is easy to use.
