RE: [FW1] security analyzer and scanner

[Avishai Wool <avishai_w@FW1-NOSPAMyahoo.com>]

For an exhaustive analysis of the firewall's policy
(all ip addresses, all protocol & ports, incoming and outgoing,
with and without NAT) check out the Lumeta Firewall Analyzer
   http://www.lumeta.com/firewall.html

It's an offline analysis (based on your Check Point objects.C 
and policy files). No packets hit your network.
