Re: hping and firewall testing

Hi Steve;

Thanks for your advice.

I am a verrry greeeen *ix person :-(  I have installed libnet at the \root 
of SuSE linux.  However, when I am trying to install Firewalk 5.0 using 
/configure.  It reported that it could not find Libnet 1.1.0.

I realize that it is a Linux question,  I am hoping a fellow subscriber 
could shed light on it.

Thanks,

DF

Firewalk would probably be a better tool to look at

hping2 is a feature rich utility.  However it is new to me.  Could you some 
please tell me which syntax(es) could I do to test our firewall externally?

I am trying to use HPING to find out the firewall which nmap and nessus
could not find.

The nmap syntax is nmap -v -sT sV -P0 -O.

Any suggestions/comments/advise are much appreciated.

Many thanks!

DF
