Nipper currently supports the following device types:
* Cisco IOS-based routers

The security audit includes details of the findings, together with
detailed recommendations. The security audit can be modified using command
line parameters or an external configuration file.

Network filtering audits include the following, all of which can be
modified:
* Rule lists end with a deny all and log
* Rules allowing access from any source
* Rules allowing access from network sources
* Rules allowing access from any source port
