CCAT is a Python-based tool that analyzes Cisco IOS configuration files against Cisco hardening guidance; the blog post explains installation and usage, shows CLI and HTML output, and demonstrates how the tool highlights insecure settings (for example, disabled ARP inspection/DHCP snooping and enabled Smart Install). It presents CCAT as useful to pentesters and network administrators for identifying misconfigurations that could be abused by attackers.
