ABSTRACT:
A method of determining network penetration (which may be carried on a computer readable medium) and an apparatus for performing the method are disclosed. The method includes the computer-implemented step of simulating a packet traveling in a network based on topology data and on security policy data, and providing output related to results of the step of simulating.
