Audit and Pen-testing of PIX and Net-Ranger site

[cbo5020]

Hello,

I need to conduct a security audit on our

infrastrcuture based on PIX and Cisco Secure Intrusion

Detection System.

Does someone know where I can find some usefull

information to test and try to pen-test this kind of

components.

I want first to check and validate the configuration

in place and second to try to penetrate my site.

regards,

steve

There are some good books out there like “Maximum Security” that will give you a good basis for what to look for in your network. Unfortunately, the methodologies of hacking are so dynamic that by the time something is written, software vendors patch those holes and hackers develop new methods. It would be best to look for a company that does security audits and stays current on the technology to come in and independently check your network and make recommendations. Just make sure they are not a product reseller so they can give you a true analysis.
