Custom Protocol Hardening

Hi

I am working on a task for protocol hardening in linux. This involves testing the some existing standard network protocols and also testing new custom protocol for security vulnerabilities. I would like to know where I can find some defined test scenarios or standard test procedure to carry out the protocol hardening task.

I also want to know the different protocol hardening tools that can be used. Like fuzzing tools. I have found a few tool like Spike, Autodafe. But they don't seem to work well. Spike is very old and it has lots of dependency errors. Autodafe is good but I would like to knnow more tools.

The main thing I require is the standard procedure to find protocol vulnerabilities in custom protocol.

Hi

I have been working around autodafe and find it very promising. I will be able to automate most of the testing of the custom protocol.

But I still dont have the idea of devising specific tests of testing the custom protocol. Can anybody please help me in by providing some pointers to info where i can find this.
