I would recommend Tenable Security's Nessus Scanner with Direct Feed. Nessus has the capability to perform local checks on machines and compare them with different compliance standards. They currently have over 100 different compliance policies that you can use and customize for your needs. While Nessus is free, the direct feed for plugins will cost you only $1200 annually. This includes email support as well. si -----Original Message----- From: listbounce () securityfocus com [mailto:listbounce () securityfocus com] On Behalf Of Sony C Sent: Thursday, March 27, 2008 6:07 PM To: pen-test () securityfocus com Subject: network policy checking Hello fellow pen-testers, I am looking for tools that perform network policy checking. Specifically, tools that allow the user to define a policy and then test the network elements to see if they adhere to this policy. As one might guess, this can be accomplished either via config file checking (passive) or actual network testing (active, via SNMP etc). I am interested in both flavors, if they are available. These tools can be commercial or open-source/free/shareware. While it is a broad requirement, this hypothetical tool will primarily be looking at routers, firewalls, etc. Thank you in advance for sharing your thoughts. Regards, SC. ____________________________________________________________________________ ________ Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo! Mobile.
