    Chris,

    In the OSSTMM 2.5 we have included the following as well:

            -Enumerate the VPN servers using TCP/UDP scans.
            -Use scans searching for response to different IP Types Packets.
            -Use ike scans to fingerprint the VPN server implementation and version.

    -Protocol Responses
            PPTP : IP Type: 47 (GRE) TCP: 1723
            IPSec:1. UDP: 500 (IKE)
            IP Type: 50 (ESP)
            IP Type: 51 (AH)
            L2TP:1. UDP : 1701
            L2F:1. UDP: 1701

            -Outline the VPN security policy using different authentication /
    encryption algorithms.
            -Verify the existence of mechanism to control the client machine
    misconfiguration and unfiltered ports
            -Check the ability of the client software to allow split tunneling (default
    route to internet and static routes to the corporate network)

    Sincerely,
    -pete
