Abstract:
NetStab is a state of the art software-based toolkit that launches penetration tests on a Network
Firewall to evaluate its efficiency, performance and guide the network administrator to fill up the
loopholes. In the times of intricate communications converting the physical world into global
villages, many organizations observe multitude network infiltrations henceforth secure
communication becomes imperative to be ensured. NetStab will strengthen firewalls through its
vulnerability assessment tests, therefore, preventing network infiltration, data leakage, and
preventing hackers from accessing sensitive information.
The purpose of this thesis document is to proclaim constituent services our product will provide,
the methodology for the product design and development, functionalities and procedures followed
to deliver these functionalities, constraints respective to procedures followed, and final product
results obtained at the time of project submission.
The purpose of this project revolves around the idea to establish an indigenous Firewall
Penetration Testing Toolkit to confirm the efficiency of the firewall configured to secure the
network. As there is a shortage of pen-test tools in the market and there isn’t a tool that covers all
aspects and types of firewall penetration tests, all the tools available are either not comprehensive
or only offer one type of functionality required to run a penetration test. NetStab offers all these
types of tests in one tool which will be easy to use and will combine all the functionality of the
utility programs to ensure a comprehensive testing procedure.
