Find the security gaps your tools aren't telling you about. Practical guides on DLP blind spots, NGFW misconfigurations, and validation techniques that actually work.
ITSecTools vs Other Security Testing Tools — What's Actually Different
There are other DLP and firewall testing tools. Here's what ITSecTools does that none of them can: test data generation, endpoint DLP detection, 10-vendor regex translation, and browser-based kill chain simulation.
How to Test Your DLP Policy — Find the Gaps Before Attackers Do
Your DLP says it's working. But is it catching PDFs with embedded SSNs? Encrypted ZIPs? Base64-encoded files? Here are the 5 blind spots most DLP policies miss — and how to test them for free.
EICAR Is Just the Beginning — Test What Your AV Actually Misses
EICAR proves signature scanning works. It does NOT prove heuristic detection works. ITSecTools goes beyond EICAR with Mimikatz-pattern samples, ransomware simulators, and OLE/ANI exploits.
Your DLP Regex Works in Testing but Breaks in Production — Here's Why
Forcepoint uses PCRE. Zscaler uses RE2. Your regex with lookaheads just failed silently. The only free tool that builds and translates DLP regex across 10 vendor engines.
Your NGFW Has 10,000 Signatures — How Many Actually Fire?
SSL decryption disabled? IPS in detect-only? Stale signatures? Test your NGFW with real attack traffic over HTTPS. 4 test suites, 30-attack flood test, mid-stream termination detection.
Your Firewall Blocks Attacks — But Can It Stop a Kill Chain?
Testing one signature at a time gives you false confidence. Simulate a real 4-stage attack from Initial Access to Exfiltration with real CVEs — free, from your browser.
