Hello All!

I've just recently installed my hardware firewall. I'd like to get some sites to test it's defenses and see if any leaks are present.

hackerwatch.com
GRC.com
auditmypc.com

Are the few that I know of, if anyone else knows of others place let me know?

Thanks

Those three are the most common. You could just try a google search and see what comes up.(I know sygate used to host one but I'm not sure if its still available)

Oh sure that would be awesome and be one of the best ways. What I could do is use Knoppix-STD. It should have nmap on it. Actually, I have a Knoppix-STD around here somewhere. If I have time later I could go to my friends house and run it from there.

What about Nessus? Would have to study up on that one. Not too sure how to use it.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Yeah, you can use Nessus.

nmap is what I would use though.
