Where to go for Security Test ?

[tepo]

Yo !
Anyone know a good place (url) to go to if I'd like to test my firewall appz ? My mom is getting online-web connection, and She made me to search some firewall stuff. I've installed one now, and would like to test it somewhere but are in need of places... ?

Thankz in advance, Tepo

To start with try http://grc.com/default.htm and click on the Shieldsup link.
Also http://www.symantec.com/securitycheck/ and click on the Symantec Security Check link.

Gibson Research Corp. (http://grc.com/default.htm)

Run the Shields-Up program and also "probe my ports" The port probe and be kind of lenghty if the firewall is "stealthing" the ports.

Yes, the Shieldsup can take several minutes - just be patient!

Uh, shouldn't be that bad...? http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/smile.gif

Tepo. Feeling little bit more secure.

I like Onion Routing (http://www.onion-router.net/Tests.html) , ISS (https://onlinescanner.iss.net/ient.html) , and HackerWhacker (http://hackerwhacker.com/) .

NOTE: ^^^ The ISS link will prompt for ActiveX (if set in IE security) and will directly start to scan your system.

If you want to go in the front door, go to http://xforce.iss.net/

hi, tepo

I had trouble finding it through there, socalgal. So, if anyone wants to go there, here's the best place to go from:* https://onlinescanner.iss.net/

Also, the link up there in your post first post, socal, is to a page made for people with IE and WinNT or Win2K. When I went to it, it directed me to a different page, as I'm on a Win98 box. So, if anyone isn't using both IE and WinNT or Win2K, be sure to just use the front door above.


Glad I could help!
