Hey! Very cool site. I'm pretty new at the Networking stuff and being
a new host, I can use all the security stuff I can find. I went there
and did a port probe and it told me that NetBios port 139 was wide
open to attack and is like the main port used for intrusion. I went
into my Netmax firewall and closed ports 137, 138 and 139, then went
back to the site and probed again. This time instead of "Open", it
reported that the port was:
Stealth! There is no evidence that a port (or even a computer) exists
at this IP address.
Then I ran the Shields Up test and it told me:
One or more of the ports on this computer is completely hidden from
existence (this is very cool!) and shows that you are advanced in
your knowledge of networking and security.
Not bad for a 45 year old drywall hanger turned System Administrator. LOLOL
Thanks a bunch for the link!
