Firewall Test

There are two types for firewall tests, basic and advanced:

Basic Firewall Testing

If you're new to computer security, then this Firewall Test is for you. This test will check your computer for ports that are commonly left open. Open ports could allow your computer to be compromised. This firewall test will also check for open ports known to be used by Viruses and Trojans.

If you are the typical home computer user surfing the net, you should not find any open ports. If you do find open ports, we'll show you how to lock down your system.

Stay Safe! Check out our Website Monitoring service! It's free and will allow you to be notified when a port has been opened on your computer! Such security alerts could save you countless hours in recovering data and help catch the hacker! It can also save you from being embarrassed or even fired if you're the company network administrator or person responsible for website security!

Advanced Firewall Testing

This Firewall Test will allow you to pick a range of ports (or a specific port) to scan. This is useful for testing remote desktop services, ftp servers and other services running on non-standard ports.

Network administrators looking to test hidden ports will find this firewall test very useful. It eliminates the need to set up a server or outside computer to perform security audits and can reveal ports not thought to be open.
