Firewall Rule Order Simulator
Evaluate synthetic traffic against declared rules; identify shadowed rules without network access.
Plan & decision evidence
Load the worked example or open your own input.
Start with the worked example. Edit your input or settings, inspect the result, and open Export for task files or a complete ZIP. Save project keeps editable text and settings; image/file projects need their original source files when reopened.
Using Firewall Rule Order Simulator
Evaluate synthetic traffic against declared rules; identify shadowed rules without network access.
- Select Try example to see a complete firewall rule order simulator workflow. Use the editable worked example as the JSON structure, or open a local JSON/YAML text fixture. File inspectors accept their stated local formats.
- Adjust the labelled controls or open Input/Geometry to change the evidence. Run workflow applies the current input; undo and redo restore text/settings decisions.
- Inspect the task preview, record details and method notes. Findings describe cases that need review; missing evidence remains unknown.
- Open Export for task artifacts, JSON/CSV results or a complete ZIP. Save project keeps input/settings; projects with local binary files need their original files to be reselected when reopened.
Example
The worked example for Firewall Rule Order Simulator produces 2 evidence records and 1 task artifacts. Models stateless exact protocol/port and IPv4 CIDR rules. Stateful connections, NAT, IPv6, port ranges and operating-system firewall behavior require separate testing. No packet is sent and no rule is installed.
Questions & answers
What does Firewall Rule Order Simulator do?
Models stateless exact protocol/port and IPv4 CIDR rules. Stateful connections, NAT, IPv6, port ranges and operating-system firewall behavior require separate testing. No packet is sent and no rule is installed.
What should I open or paste?
Use the editable worked example as the JSON structure, or open a local JSON/YAML text fixture. File inspectors accept their stated local formats. The worked example defines the supported input fields. Edit its values, run the workflow and inspect the method notes before exporting. Each selected file must be nonempty and at most 25 MiB, with at most 30 files and 80 MiB total. Image jobs use up to 12 still frames, six million pixels per image and 18 million total pixels. Individual format inspectors may apply stricter limits.
What results can I export?
The Export view includes the task-specific artifacts listed for your actual result, a typed JSON report, a CSV table and a complete ZIP. Save project stores editable input and settings; selected binary sources are represented by fingerprints and must be reselected. Secret-option values are excluded from saved projects.
Does it upload files, run commands or change a live system?
