I just ran that test, and got the above "THE EQUIPMENT AT THE TARGET IP ADDRESS DID NOT RESPOND TO OUR UPnP PROBES!" message, despite the fact that my router has UPnP enabled.

So at least that was a test of my firewall!

Even with UPnP enabled, no decent router should expose that to the internet facing side. The vulnerbilities exposed by HD Moore et al are on routers which /do/ so expose it. (Cheap chinese stuff. Ooops even Cisco manufacture in China these days - and then they wonder why Huawei's OS looks like theirs.....)
