    Hi,
    
    I don't know if you are only interested in commercial products but there 
    are some open source/freeware tools that can help:
    
    ftester - This package can be found at PacketStorm and is designed for fw 
    testing.
    
    OSSTMM - The OSSTMM manual (available at www.isecom.com) has a section 
    detailing a methodology that should be used when auditing a firewall.
    
    There are also a number of other packet creation tools that can aid you in 
    a audit. A complied list of tools is available here:

    I hope you are cli inclined.
    
    Later,
    Alaric
