There are all kinds of shareware apps for 'testing the security' of your firewall at work. You are looking for a "port scanner". There are also multi tool programs that scan ports and do many other thing s to 'test security' all in one package. Careful with these, your firewall might pick up on the activity of some of these tools and log you. If you run it from an internal IP (from your within your work network) it would be pretty easy for them to figure out it is you. For the port scanner to work, you will need to run it from outside your network anyway. It's passive and can't do any harm but is not generally appreciated but network admins.
Quotes around 'testing' added because certainly they could not be used by Hackers as long as the .txt files says they are for testing purposes only. However, what I really wanted to say was....Be careful. Depending on who you work for, intentionally bypassing firewall security for whatever reason can get to a nasty speech from your boss or even fired depending on policy. -- Murph ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Murph's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10553 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33402 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
