Hi everyone. We'll be starting the pre-staging of our project next week. I
was tasked to test the effectiveness of the IBM Firewall for AIX. So what
tools can you suggest to test against this IBM firewall? Would nmap for
linux be enough to test the IBM firewall? I think, nmap can only do os
fingerprinting, checking of opened ports, am I right?

I need firewall gurus advice here :-)

Btw, on wednesday, I will submit to the IBM engr. the ports that needs to be
opened. I need MsSQL to be opened and I found out in services file that
run's on 1433/tcp.  So I asked one of my colleage to do a connection to the
MsSQL server using ODBC, I run ethereal for linux to capture that packets, I
found out that it was talking to MsSQL through \PIPE and SMB something. I
was expecting the port 1433 to appear on the capture packet but it didn't.
Any ideas?
