Hi Colin, I work for Blade and just thought I would give you a quick bit of info on the product, Firewall Informer was purpose built to test firewall rule sets, which it does by replaying protocol traffic between two network cards on a Windows PC. Both network cards are stealthed and are able to communicate with each other without any protocols bound to either interface. Effectively the application allows you to simulate a true client / server communication stream simulating any source and destination ip address replaying protocol traffic using any port information. You are also able to control the speed of throughput, indicate if you think a check should succeed or fail, this is really useful if you want to test your firewall policy and the inverse of it. Let me know if you would like me to have a chat with you further about the application, the eval you have downloaded is a perpetual one so it will not expire.
