Name: Firewall Test Agent v1.1[ZIP 774 KB]
Credit: Nathan House
Abstract: This simple tool can be used to test and log the rules on
a firewall. The Firewall Test Agent is able to open up any number of
TCP and UDP ports on a windows machine and log any connection
attempts.
It's a nice tool and I'm going to use it in a class on firewalls I'll be
giving shortly.
I've been looking for a Windows tool like this a long time.
Might I suggest some areas for further development?
- recording ICMP packets
- ability to save the recorded packets into a log file
- ability influence the response the tool gives (ACK, RST, silence)
I'm thinking of a combination of functions that you find in:
- BackOfficerFriendly - http://www.nfr.com/resource/backOfficer.php
- PortPeeker - http://www.linklogger.com/portpeeker.htm
The nice thing with your approach is that you can open more than one port
(portpeeker only one) and that you can set any port (BOF has a fixed port
range).
