About network-segmentation-review
network-segmentation-review is a security skill for network and security teams assessing whether segmentation boundaries hold. It guides design and policy reviews, authorized connectivity tests, and evidence-based remediation reporting.
Key features
- 01Map zones, trust levels, and expected flows
- 02Check VLAN, routing, and ACL boundaries
- 03Review firewall rules and management access
- 04Inspect cloud groups, routes, and egress controls
- 05Run authorized cross-zone connectivity tests
- 06Produce flow matrices, evidence, and remediation
Use cases
- 01Verify implementation of network segmentation
- 02Find overly broad or unused firewall rules
- 03Test allowed and denied inter-zone connections
- 04Document boundary gaps with device evidence

From the project READMENetwork Segmentation Review
Verify that intended segmentation boundaries actually hold.
1. Understand the Intended Design
- Obtain the network diagram: zones (DMZ, internal, production, corporate, OT), trust levels, intended flows
- Map documented allowed flows vs "everything else should be denied"
2. Verify Layer 2/3 Boundaries
- VLAN hopping: double-tagging, DTP negotiation on user ports, native VLAN mismatches on trunks
- Inter-VLAN routing: which SVIs exist, ACLs between them
- Private VLANs / port isolation where host-to-host traffic is unnecessary
3. Firewall and Router Policy
- Rulebase review: any-any rules, overly broad source/destination (any→internal), rules by IP instead of objects
- Shadowed and unused rules; logging disabled on deny rules
- Management access: SSH/admin planes reachable from user segments?
4. Cloud Boundaries
- Security groups: per-role groups, no
0.0.0.0/0ingress on non-web ports - NACLs vs SGs layering; peering/transit gateway route tables leaking broader CIDRs
- Egress control: can compromised workload reach arbitrary internet (data exfil path)?
5. Active Validation (authorized testing)
- From representative hosts in each zone, attempt connections across boundaries: allowed (should work), denied (should fail and log)
- Test both directions and return traffic for stateful devices
- Use
nmap -PN -sT -p <port>style targeted probes; record device logging the block
Output
A verified flow matrix (source zone × destination zone × port × expected × observed), gaps with device-level evidence, and remediation per boundary.
