Abstract

A system and method for building an executable script for performing a network security audit is described. A source program expressed in a network packet simulation language is stored. The same program includes a plurality of statements encoding logic to simulate an exchange of network protocol compliant-packets. Each statement is scanned into a sequence of individual tokens. Each token is parsed into grammatical phrases comprising at least one of an expression and a control construct. Each expression evaluates a data value. Each control construct defines a process flow. The grammatical phrases are compiled into program instructions to execute the logic on a target machine.
