FirePAC 1.0

Athena FirePac is an affordable, easy to use and install, firewall analysis tool with three essential must-have capabilities for every network engineer.
Our comprehensive policy analysis is based on any combination of source, destination, service, or interface. Using the configuration file for input, FirePAC generates reports based on packet filtering ACLs, routing tables, and NATs. It details the specific configuration rules that give rise to any specific policy. It will also evaluate the polices against industry best practices so that zeroing in on the root cause of problems becomes a cinch.
Athena is an expert at inferring higher level policies from firewall rules. We use this ability to provide the most accurate and complete detection of redundant and covered rules that have no effect on packet accept or deny policies because there are other rules or combinations of rules that achieve the same thing. This analysis is provided as a report that fully displays all the rules and also provides the rule or line number for easy reference.
This report shows just enough of what you need and nothing you don抰. It only lists the changes, grouped by output interface and service, correlated to the actual impact. Comparing policies, rather than configurations, is the most clear-cut way to understand what is happening on a firewall. Use it before a change is committed, or after, to verify that the rules implement a given security policy correctly.
