A valuable site to test vulnerability of our computers Автор темы: Rishi Miranhshah

We translators normally have all our eggs (as well as bread and butter) in our computers. This in itself is quite a precarious situation, given the fact that most of us are connected 24 hrs. of the day via cable connections, and on top of it smart guys are getting smarter day by day. Here is a site (https://grc.com/x/ne.dll?bh0bkyd2) that does a free test to evaluate how vulnerable/invincible our refri...

To me it was quite helpful (and shocking to see how I was exhibiting all my information to the whole world!!!!!) ▲ Collapse | | | luka Испания Local time: 23:23 английский => испанский + ...
Thank you for posting this link. I tried out of curiosity and I had the nice surprise to see everything was OK, nobody could see any data from the computer and the computer irself was 'closed' to anybody trying to connect to it. I have Norton Internet Security installed in my computer and am glad to see it works well. | | | lien Нидерланды Local time: 23:23 английский => французский + ... How do you know? | Jun 5, 2003 |
Why do you trust these people that you do not know? It could be a good way to scan your computer to steal all your useful information with your own accord. And how do you know if they left something in your PC? Lien | | | Nina Engberg США Local time: 15:23 английский => шведский + ... My computer is in stealth mode | Jun 6, 2003 |

Attempting connection to your computer. . . Shields UP! is now attempting to contact the Hidden Internet Server within your PC. It is likely that no one has told you that your own personal computer may now be functioning as an Internet Server with neither your knowledge nor your permission.

See more Attempting connection to your computer. . . Shields UP! is now attempting to contact the Hidden Internet Server within your PC. It is likely that no one has told you that your own personal computer may now be functioning as an Internet Server with neither your knowledge nor your permission. And that it may be serving up all or many of your personal files for reading, writing, modification and even deletion by anyone, anywhere, on the Internet! Your Internet port 139 does not appear to exist! One or more ports on this system are operating in FULL STEALTH MODE! Standard Internet behavior requires port connection attempts to be answered with a success or refusal response. Therefore, only an attempt to connect to a nonexistent computer results in no response of either kind. But YOUR computer has DELIBERATELY CHOSEN NOT TO RESPOND (that's very cool!) which represents advanced computer and port stealthing capabilities. A machine configured in this fashion is well hardened to Internet NetBIOS attack and intrusion. Unable to connect with NetBIOS to your computer. All attempts to get any information from your computer have FAILED. (This is very uncommon for a Windows networking-based PC.) Relative to vulnerabilities from Windows networking, this computer appears to be VERY SECURE since it is NOT exposing ANY of its internal NetBIOS networking protocol over the Internet -- The ISP's servers block about everything which could be harmful to their users.

See more I am frequently using another good site: http://www.dslreports.com/tools This site is especially helpful, if your computer does not bring the speed you expected from your broadband connection. In my case using the twaeking tool increased the speed from approximately double the ISDN speed to almost 5 Mbit/s. They also offer you the free service of looking for weak points and ping your computer. Fortunately my firewall was watertight. ▲ Collapse | | | To report site rules violations or get help, contact a site moderator: You can also contact site staff by submitting a support request » A valuable site to test vulnerability of our computers Protemos translation business management system | Create your account in minutes, and start working! 3-month trial for agencies, and free for freelancers!
