TE-2500 In Stock

The Spirent TE-2500 is a ThreatEx Network Attack Testing Solution designed to enhance network security by going beyond the assessment of normal traffic capacity. This advanced device specializes in emulating a wide range of attacks and their variants, such as DDoS, Worms, Email attacks, viruses, VoIP attacks, wireless attacks, and expanded protocol fuzzing to uncover unknown vulnerabilities. With continuous updates for new exploit definitions and threats, the TE-2500 enables network security professionals to identify vulnerabilities effectively through realistic attacks on individual devices or entire networks.

One of the key features of the TE-2500 is its capability to execute sequences of controlled attacks. This significantly expedites the process of identifying and addressing system vulnerabilities while establishing appropriate security policies. Furthermore, this device proves invaluable in safeguarding networks against malicious traffic by offering native security testing for 802.11 a/b/g WiFi implementations, proactive threat-containment strategies, and robustness testing for next-generation unified threat management (UTM) systems. By narrowing the window of vulnerability and providing timely threat updates, the TE-2500 minimizes the need for in-house research.

The TE-2500 boasts the ThreatEx Designer feature, which empowers IT and QA staff to modify existing threats or create customized threats in a matter of minutes, without requiring extensive programming knowledge. Its user-friendly graphical interface simplifies the development of threats and exploits through a point-and-click approach. The accompanying software generates exploits using a patented Threat Definition Language (TDL) format. Moreover, users have the option to import specific traffic via Pcap files, enabling the replay or modification of unique protocols or transactions. Threat files can be executed directly by the ThreatEx System or stored in a central database for future use. Notably, the TE-2500 incorporates an optimal Protocol Fuzzer application, which effectively identifies breaking points in content delivery and security equipment devices that might otherwise go unnoticed.

For optimal versatility, the TE-2500 can be deployed on a ThreatEx/2700 appliance or a compatible multi-slot chassis. The ThreatEx/2700 appliance ensures maximum performance and offers support for both copper and fiber interfaces, along with a built-in pass-thru port. To streamline and automate the testing process, the TE-2500 ThreatEx platform includes ThreatWalker, a comprehensive TcI scripting environment for automating and developing test plans in Sun, Linux, or Windows environments. Test parameters, threat parameters, and statistical monitoring techniques can be executed and automatically generate Tcl scripts for immediate use or easy customization using Tcl templates. This automated approach simplifies the process of re-testing the network whenever new threats are detected.
