    Firewalk is a good tool, also I found the article "Firewall sptting with
    broken CRC" in the latest issue of phrack to be quite useful, although
    not always practical, for doing some firewall probing by hand. This
    article can be viewed at http://www.phrack.org/show.php?p=60&a=12. Also
    nmap has some interesting options for firewall probing, look at nmap -sA
    option in the man pages. anyways, hope this helps a little. btw I am by
    no means a pro when it comes to firewalls but I am still learning... ok,
    buh bye. ;-)
