Zebra (http://www.zebra.org/) is great for testing protocols like IGMP (and other routing protocols). pete [mailto:peteat_private] wrote: his pen test posted on Security Focuses' Pen-Test mailing list brings up the question of the testing of protocols as to the OSSTMM (http://www.osstmm.org) and the reliability of NMAP's protocol scanning. As I apply the module "Port Scanning" the tasks for protocol identification are a bit difficult to automate. Of course, NMAP claims to do it but I consistantly get at least IGMP for most systems which I do have difficulty with accepting. I use NMAP for many of the tasks in that section but hav been hesitant on the protocol testing. Of course a bit of scripting will automate some but while I was a bit hesitant about NMAP's results I thought I would ask what others thought of this. Sincerely, -pete.
