NCAT - Network Config Audit Tool

NCAT - Network Config Audit Tool Homepage

I have developed a wrapper to NCAT called rat (Router Audit Tool). It contains a simple tool (snarf) to download configurations and a report generation tool. The rat distribution contains the latest NCAT. The current version contains rules to check configurations against the NSA IOS Rules.

To download the latest production release, including the latest rules, please go to the Center for Internet Security at:
