9 Evaluation Analysis Activities
The evaluation analysis activities involved a structured evaluation of HP SiteScope v11.30,
including the following areas:
Development: The evaluators analyzed the HP SiteScope v11.30 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
HP SiteScope v11.30 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 HP SiteScope v11.30 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 HP SiteScope v11.30 configuration management
system and associated documentation was performed. The evaluators found that the HP
SiteScope v11.30 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 HP SiteScope v11.30 during distribution
to the consumer.
The evaluators reviewed the flaw remediation procedures used by developer for the HP
SiteScope v11.30. 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. Generation of Alerts: The objective of this test goal is to confirm that the TOE can
generate SNMP, Log and e-mail alerts;
c. User Privileges: The objective of this test goal is confirm that user privileges cannot be
escalated;
d. Monitoring of Supported Protocols: The objective of this test goal is to confirm that
monitors can be set up for supported protocols;
e. Generation of Auditable Events: The objective of this test goal is to confirm that the
TOE can successfully log auditable events not covered by the developers testing; and
f. WS API authentication: The objective of this test goal is to confirm that both password
and certificate authentication work via the WS API interface.

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; and
b. User Privileges: The objective of this test goal is confirm that user privileges cannot be
escalated after the application of the patch required to address CVE_2015-2120.
The independent penetration testing did not uncover any exploitable vulnerabilities in the
intended operating environment.
10.4 Conduct of Testing
HP SiteScope v11.30 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 HP SiteScope v11.30 behaves as specified in its ST and functional
specification.
11 Results of the Evaluation
This evaluation has provided the basis for a EAL 2+ level of assurance. The overall verdict
for the evaluation is PASS. These results are supported by evidence in the ETR.
12 Evaluator Comments, Observations and Recommendations
Consumers of the Sitescope v11.30 should be familiar with the excluded functionality as
detailed in section 1.5.3 “Product Physical/Logical Features and Functionality not included in
