Re: Firewall rulebase automation - Grey Box assessment

["Rick Zhong" <sagiko () gmail com>]

Thanks Arvind for putting the efforts to develope the tool. You may
want to take a look at AlgoSec's Automated Firewall Analyzer,  I have
tried it (http://www.algosec.com/en/products/firewall_analyzer.php).
Good features, good results and  cost good amount of $$$ (per
firewall) as well.

regards,
Rick
