9 Evaluation Analysis Activities
The evaluation analysis activities involved a structured evaluation of McAfee PA 6.2 and
EPO 5.1.3, including the following areas:
Development: The evaluators analyzed the McAfee PA 6.2 and EPO 5.1.3 functional
specification and design documentation; they determined that the design completely and
accurately describes the TOE security functionality (TSF) interfaces, the TSF subsystems and
how the TSF implements the security functional requirements (SFRs). The evaluators
analyzed the McAfee PA 6.2 and EPO 5.1.3 security architectural description and determined
that the initialization process is secure, that the security functions are protected against
tamper and bypass, and that security domains are maintained. The evaluators also
independently verified that the correspondence mappings between the design documents are
correct.
Guidance Documents: The evaluators examined the McAfee PA 6.2 and EPO 5.1.3
preparative user guidance and operational user guidance and determined that it sufficiently
and unambiguously describes how to securely transform the TOE into its evaluated
configuration and how to use and administer the product. The evaluators examined and tested
the preparative and operational guidance, and determined that they are complete and
sufficiently detailed to result in a secure configuration.
Life-cycle support: An analysis of the McAfee PA 6.2 and EPO 5.1.3 configuration
management system and associated documentation was performed. The evaluators found that
the McAfee PA 6.2 and EPO 5.1.3 configuration items were clearly marked.

The evaluators examined the delivery documentation and determined that it described all of
the procedures required to maintain the integrity of McAfee PA 6.2 and EPO 5.1.3 during
distribution to the consumer.
The evaluators reviewed the flaw remediation procedures used by developer for the McAfee
PA 6.2 and EPO 5.1.3. During a site visit, the evaluators also examined the evidence
generated by adherence to the procedures. The evaluators concluded that the procedures are
adequate to track and correct security flaws, and distribute the flaw information and
corrections to consumers of the product.
All these evaluation activities resulted in PASS verdicts.
10 ITS Product Testing
Testing consists of the following three steps: assessing developer tests, performing
independent functional tests, and performing penetration tests.
10.1 Assessment of Developer Tests
The evaluators verified that the developer has met their testing responsibilities by examining
their test evidence, and reviewing their test results, as documented in the ETR1
.
The evaluators analyzed the developer’s test coverage analysis and found it to be complete
and accurate. The correspondence between the tests identified in the developer’s test
documentation and the functional specification was complete.
10.2 Independent Functional Testing
During this evaluation, the evaluator developed independent functional tests by examining
design and guidance documentation.
All testing was planned and documented to a sufficient level of detail to allow repeatability
of the testing procedures and results. Resulting from this test coverage approach is the
following list of test goals:
a. Repeat of Developer's Tests: The objective of this test goal is to repeat a subset of the
developer's tests;
b. Audit Generation: The objective of this test goal is to confirm that the defined set of
auditable events are generated;
c. Audit Protection: The objective of this test goal is to confirm the audit log is protected
against unauthorized modification;
d. Permissions: The objective of this test goal is to confirm that an evaluator defined subset
of permissions are correctly applied;

10.3 Independent Penetration Testing
Subsequent to the independent review of public domain vulnerability databases and all
evaluation deliverables, limited independent evaluator penetration testing was conducted.
The penetration tests focused on:
a. Use of automated vulnerability scanning tools to discover potential network, platform and
application layer vulnerabilities.
b. Port Scan: The objective of this test goal is to scan for open ports using nmap; and
c. OpenVAS Scan: The objective of this test goal is to determine if the TOE is vulnerable to
Heartbleed, Poodle, Shellshock, Ghost or Freak.
The independent penetration testing did not uncover any exploitable vulnerabilities in the
intended operating environment.
10.4 Conduct of Testing
McAfee PA 6.2 and EPO 5.1.3 was subjected to a comprehensive suite of formally
documented, independent functional and penetration tests. The detailed testing activities,
including configurations, procedures, test cases, expected results and observed results are
documented in a separate Test Results document.
10.5 Testing Results
The developer’s tests and the independent functional tests yielded the expected results,
providing assurance that McAfee PA 6.2 and EPO 5.1.3 behaves as specified in its ST and
functional specification.
