Hi GJK again,
I think I may have misunderstood your original question. I'm thinking
that you are asking how you would test devices that are basically behind
a NAT wall? If that's your question then you would probably only be
able to test the security of the public devices on that customers'
network from the outside. Though do not overlook this because all you
need is one public server from their network that you could take control
of and then use that as a relay into the inside network. I'm not too
sure on all the specifics but I'm thinking that if you were somehow able
to get netcat running on a system that's public you could probably
tunnel through that. If social engineering is part of your test maybe
you could create an automated NetCat script that will launch from an end
users machine and create a connection to your system and return a shell,
that's my closest thoughts on how to approach this.
David.

Hi David
Thanks for the reply....
Well, it seems like a bunch of VLAN's but all these VLAN's are behind
a single public IP, how do I reach the private ip's behind this?
As for all the documentation, well, yes I will not attempt to do any
testing before they are in place ;)
Thanks
GJK
