Abstract :
Product security is an on-going challenge for network equipment vendors. In this paper, we present a systematic methodology for some software vulnerability assessment and security function verification. Based on this approach, a scalable and adaptable automatic test system was implemented to test over a hundred production software releases over the past year. This paper describes the methodology, the framework, and the results.
