Overview:

This research will evaluate the effectiveness of two publicly available network security products using penetration tests conducted with the Metasploit Framework. Metasploit is an open source toolkit and development platform used for software exploitation. The growing sophistication of both Metasploit and other network security products begs the simple question, Are the latest intrusion detection and prevention products keeping up with their network penetration counterparts? This analysis will answer that question for a certain set of environments. It will be based on experiments conducted on one's own personal computer systems, using Metasploit to exploit vulnerable software on systems with various intrusion detection and prevention mechanisms running.
