Testing WSA filters?

[brianjthornton]

So bluecoat has https://sitereview.bluecoat.com/testcategories.jsp

Sophos has http://sophostest.com/

FortiNet has http://www.fortiguard.com/webfilter

BUT, none of their test sites trigger off of my WSA.  If I go to playboy...it's blocked.  But would love to innocuously test some filters with Cisco.  Heck I'd even build/host my own if I could ensure the categorization of a simple 5 line html page.

Any suggestions other than just go to playboy to test?

Cheers

Brian,

Not sure if this is what you're looking for, but I found a YouTube video that shows WSA URL filtering.

Cisco Ironport Web Security Appliance URL Filtering - YouTube

I also found a design guide with testing instructions:

I hope this helps.

Try these:

Cisco ones:

http://www.ihaveagoodreputation.com - URL with a good WBRS score

http://www.ihaveabadreputation.com - URL with a poor WBRS score -- treated as malicious

Industry ones:

http://suspect.uri-dnsbl.gtube.example.com - URL with a borderline score

http://malware.gtube.example.com - Treated as malicious

I've used these in testing URL functions on an ESA and they have worked well there too.

Thanks,

Raymond
