Hi to all!
I've just released version 0.9 of my Firewall Tester, you can find it at:
http://www.infis.univ.trieste.it/~lcars/ftester
http://ftester.sourceforge.net
Main new features in this version are:
* added support for CIDR notation
* extended CIDR and 'ranges' notation support to all modes
* added a new configuration syntax 'flags:' for more flexible
conf files
* added pseudo fragments reassembly in ftestd
See the Changelog for details.
Any code contribution/improvement is very welcome ;)
Thanks to all.
Bye

Description:
The Firewall Tester, is a tool designed for testing firewalls filtering policies
and Intrusion Detection System. Basically ftester is made of a packet generator
tool (ftest) and a sniffer (ftestd), the first script injects custom packets with
a signature in the data part while the sniffer listens for such marked packets,
the comparison of the sniffer logs with the injector ones permits the
identification of firewall filtering rules. Unlike common firewall testing tools
or packet generators ftester is capable of generating network traffic that will
looks like real connections to the firewall or IDS system tested, this feature
allows us to test stateful inspection firewalls (like netfilter or ipfilter) and
IDS (like snort).
