Abstract
Lately, a great number of new security tools have been developed to solve the problems of IP networks, but some doubts were raised about the efficiency of those systems. There are some techniques used to evaluate the vulnerabilities of a network, but their results are limited and few tools aim to facilitate and automate the evaluation of security network mechanisms. This article presents a network fault injection system especially created to test network security equipment, aiming to solve the inexistence of this type of tool and to fill the gap between packet injectors and vulnerability scanners.
