Hello, I am setting up my firewall, and I was just wondering if there was any tool like the 'Shields Up' utility at grc.com that I could use to scan my system to get an idea of where to go next. Any preferred way of doing this? Would the grc.com thing works fine, or is there a better way? Thanks in advance, AA _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Hi, grc.com works fine. It scans only a limited number of ports thought. Tim On Mon, Sep 10, 2001 at 02:01:53AM -0500, Asoka Anon wrote:

nmap comes with the distribution. There are other tools like saint, too. Hope it helps Tazio

Nessus (http://www.nessus.org/) is also very useful (also comes with 7.2, although the version is an oldish one) - run it on yourself, and it will give you a list of vulnerabilities, how dangerous they are, and a suggested method for fixing each one. If you're using nmap on yourself, use the -v option to get as much information as you can from the scan. cheers, Gideon.
