That's funny. I was just reading that site the other day. I think it is hilarious when a site has a little lock icon or a hacker safe icon. It's just a freaking image which ultimately is PR to make your clients feel warm and fuzzy about your site.
The scan alert site is VERY vague about how their scans work. I had to dig for a while to even find their "explanation" and it really didn't tell me anything. They claim it is not nmap based, but I get the feeling it is just a port scan and a list of default process pages/default passwords for commonly used webbased admin tools. Oh yeah, and the warm fuzzy feeling... ~Brad -----Original Message----- From: Bryan Stevenson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, June 07, 2007 1:45 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: OT: HackerSafe Has anybody else sen this HackerSafe program from Scan Alert? https://www.scanalert.com/ Does anyone else feel this is like throwing down the gauntlet to potential hackers?? I mean come on...."this site certified to be 99.9% hacker safe" is like saying....come one and all and try and hack us to prove us wrong!!. Personally I've always warned clients about boasting about their security for just that reason.
