Why would you use a vulnerability scanner to see how an UTM detects an attack? Vuln scanners nowadays go to great lengths NOT to actually exploit a vulnerability because people get pissed when their servers crash. If you want to see how well an UTM detects someone running nessus against your network, then by all means use nessus. But if you want to see how well it detects an actual attack, then you had better use traffic which actually looks like an actual exploit. With that said, the original poster should go look in the list archives and google. Someone asks how to test an IDS/IPS/Firewall/UTM/etc on this list every virtually every week and it's pretty boring reading the same answers/vendors reminding us that nothing significant has changed in the last year or so. -- Aaron Turner http://synfin.net/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Test Your IDS Is your IDS deployed correctly?
