How To Check if Your Firewall Is Vulnerable to Attacks

Firewall auditing helps review rules, logs, and access controls to find weaknesses in security policies.

Vulnerability scanning with tools like Nmap and Nessus identifies open ports and weak configurations.

Penetration testing simulates attacks to assess firewall resilience against real-world cyber threats.

Port scanning and traffic anomaly tests help expose firewall misconfigurations and security gaps.

Black box, white box, and gray box testing provide different levels of security assessment.
