The easiest is to turn on sig 2004 (ICMP Echo Reply) and run a few pings through your ASA.</P><P>If you leave it connected to the open internet (outside your firewall or NAT) you'll see lots of garbage internet attacks showing up as events.</P><P>If you want to generate some attacks download a copy of Backtrack 4, it's a live DVD of attack tools.</P><P>You can also create a custom sig with a known test string in it. then telnet through your ASA and type the string.</P><P></P><P>- Bob</P></BODY></HTML> Wed, 24 Feb 2010 23:48:01 GMT https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/testing-a-asa-ssm-10/m-p/1373032#M67981 rhermes 2010-02-24T23:48:01Z
