Generate the packet against the ruleset you would like
to test using Nemesis and watch the reply thru Tcpdump
or any packet capture program of your choice...

ive seen a windows port of Nemesis latelly, but dont
actually know if all the feature are availlable on it.

both program are availlable on *nix and win32

tcpdump: http://www.tcpdump.org/ win32/*nix
nemesis:http://www.packx.net/packx/html/en/index-en.htm  win32
        http://www.packetfactory.net/projects/nemesis    *nix

Hi,

Can anyone recommend good products for testing firewall rulesets?

I have searched on the web and only come up with one, Firewall Informer

from Blade, and I have not looked at this yet but I thought I would ask

the experts.

Merci
