    Here is a commercial tool that is rather new but looking very promising.

    www.algosec.com

    It is a Firewall Analysis tool. It imports all configs into the software
    and analyzes it for possible vulnerabilities. Has some bells and whistles
    to make the job easier..

    Pen-Test Group,

         I have a question to present that is in need of a good answer. The
    question I have is "Is there any good programs for VAP testing routers,
    switches, and firewalls?" I know there is the Router Assessment Tool (RAT)
    for Cisco router and there is FTEST for firewalls, but are there any other
    programs that can be loaded on to a Laptop Toolkit that can do the testing?
    Looking for a all in one program if there is such a thing. If anyone has
    any good ideas please let me know. Thanks ahead.

    v/r
