Hi,

I am required to evaluate certain sucrity software (AV and firewalls)
and the we need to use tools like attack sender, portscan or etheral to
attack the target system (a clean image with the product udner test
installed). but this need to be done over a huge spread of OS,
languages, and services packs. So I have an idea to create a server
which, all it does is when a user logon (using a script from the target
system), the server will automatically uses portscan attacksneder etc
to attack the target system -the client side (the one which "logged
on"). Then the client side then report its results.

Anyone has any idea? Any one can share their experience in doing so?
