Nipper version 0.93 released

Sunday 22 April 2007

nipper processes network device configuration files, performs a security audit and outputs a security report with recommendations and a configuration report. nipper currently supports Cisco IOS, PIX, ASA, FWSM, NMP, CatOS and Juniper NetScreen devices.

This tool has been tested by Security-Database.com against PIX, Cisco and NetScreen. Some improvements should be reviewed to correct bugs or wrong interpretations. But Nipper will be great for auditing filtering devices configurations.

This new 0.93 release comes with theses changes :

- Improved: XML appendix and configuration subsection tags.
- Improved: XML table tag reference.
- Improved: Added an XML section tag reference.
- Improved: Dictionary-based password checking using the small built in dictionary.
- Improved: A really minor PQR change to the report text.
- Improved: Minor tweaks to the on-line help text.
- Fixed : Typo in the report markup language.
- Fixed : PIX Access List Segmentation Fault.
- Fixed : Bug 1703687, which fixes the handling of quoted text, specifically with NetScreen devices.
