Jeez, mate... if you manage that, you'll be hailed a genius, probably up
until the point when the Cisco's lawyers arrive at your door to break
your legs <ahem> I mean, persuade you to "cease and desist". :-)
As far as I know, you cannot run PIX software on anything other than PIX
hardware, unless someone has a PIX hardware emulator available for
VMWare.
Cheers

| Hi List ,
|
| I am making a document "Test Protocol Firewalls" where shown the
| results of tests of commercial Firewalls like :CheckPoint and Cisco
PIX
| :
|
| - Firewall -1 R55+ HF 13 running SecurePlatform.
| - Cisco Pix IOS 6.3 o 7.0
|
| My network environment is :
|
| - External ( Attack Server)
| - DMZ ( Webserver vulnerable without last patch of
| apache.......Honeypot)
| - Internal (Here It will be syslog Server)
|
| -For CheckPoint I just have installed the Firewall Module and Smart
| Center in two different virtual machines running in vmware workstation
| 5.0.0
| build-13124 and
| the SmartDasboard running in the Host Windows 2000. All is working
very
| well ...is fantastic the vmware.
|
|
| -For Cisco PIX I really have problems because I have not PIX, so my
| question is if Anybody know if I can download the PIX IOS 6.3 o 7.0
and
| then create new virtual machine and execute my "Test Protocol
| Firewalls" .
|
| I will appreciate your coments and when I finished my tests I will be
| sharing my resuls with you.
|
| Cesar Farro.
