Can you give some information (or pointers to sites) for this one?
As far as I understand, you are 'breaking in into your own system' to check 'how
strong it is'??
Any other methods to check the server.
I have my (private) server online (+/- online all the time - through dialin

(There is an internal network behind it)
I know nmap scans the ports.....
