Claim 6:
7. A processor-implemented method for verifying a firewall, comprising:
transmitting, by a timelord module, random tokens to an external element responsive to a schedule task;
creating, by the external element, an updated firewall policy that includes the random tokens and a change in a firewall policy;
pushing, by the external element, the updated firewall policy to the firewall;
transmit, by the external element, an updated policy ok signal to the timelord module responsive to receiving a notification from the firewall;
receiving, by the timelord module, the updated policy ok signal from the external element;
responding, by the timelord module, to the updated policy ok signal by:
loading a first Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) attack with a first expected response that is either forbidden or accepted, the first HTTP attack including the random tokens in a form of a header key value parameter;
sending the first HTTP attack to the firewall;
comparing a response from the firewall to the first HTTP attack with the first expected response;
incrementing the first HTTP attack and repeating the loading, sending, and comparing until a plurality of HTTP attacks have been sent; and
deleting the random tokens after the plurality of HTTP attacks have been sent.
