  Firewall Tester - Put your firewall configuration to the test
------------------------------------------------------------------------

DETAILS

The <http://www.infis.univ.trieste.it/~lcars/ftester/> Firewall Tester
consists of two simple Perl scripts - the client part (ftest.pl) and the
listening "daemon" (ftestd.pl). The client injects custom packets, defined
in ftest.conf, with a signature in the data part while the daemon listens
for such marked packets. The scripts both write a log file that is in the
same form for both scripts. A diff of the two produced files (ftest.log
and ftestd.log) shows the packets that were unable to reach the daemon due
to filtering rules if these two scripts are ran on hosts placed on two
different sides of a firewall.
