This is a simple library that parses and extract useful information from PaloAlto Network firewalls XML configuration.
PaloAlto Network exports its configuration in an XML file that can be used by security auditors for analysis.
This is a bit of convenience classes and methods to extract that information.
It is thought to do the analysis on irb although a simple example cli program
is provided.
At the moment, just download it. I'll try to provide a gem soon.
On irb you can require 'paloalto' and use its classes to do your analysis,
like this:
>> require 'paloalto'
>> PaloAlto::Config.new(open 'paloalto_config.xml')
Just run the following to get a summary that may be useful for your analysis:
ruby paloalto_config_analysis.rb paloalto_config.xml
