Hello,Our security auditor has asked that I generate screen shots proving that these firewalls use stateful inspection. They also want something showing uses anti-spoofing

 

I have a fortigate 500d v.5.6, how do I know that it has ANTI SPOOFING and STATEFUL INSPECTION enabled? Will there be any command to see it?

    I have no idea how I could *prove* that the engine in my car has 6 cylinders but it's in the description of the model (and no, no ignition cables to count as it's a Diesel engine).

     

    In your case you have  diesel fuel line/rail .Just busting your chops :)

     

    But ede bought up the point the datasheet and the fact that you do not have asymmetrical routing enabled should be good enough.

     

    also to edit, if the auditor becomes pain, you can always make a configuration dump send it into tac and have them confirm 1> it's operating in stateful mode 2> and uRPF anti-spoof is enabled

     

    I had to do just that for a PCI auditor for a similar audit where they didn't take the word of 4  local engineers that our firewalls was acting like a firewall, smh.

     

    So they accepted the word of the TAC.

    One of our customer had the same inquiry originated by their security auditor. Unless "asymroute" is enabled, stateful inspection is the base of all FW actions including the reverse path check on the FGTs as in the KB.
