ping http etc

[ltodd2]

Morning

We are having to replace a firewall and need to run test before and after. for some stuff a simple ping will do but for a lot of the rules they allow access to http, ftp, ssh etc. Does anyone know of a way to script a set of tests that will test access to port 80 one for port 21 etc and take the ip/url from a list and log the output to a file.
any ideas

use the nmap utility


man nmap

also available for windows

you could also use nessus (it uses nmap) but it tells you what vulnerabilities are present in the installed version
