Hi all,
I just got around to updating my firewall to use IPtables and was wondering how could I check that I havn't left any big hole in it? I know about online port-scanners but how do I know if they are reliable? (indeed you can ssh to my machine and http from the outside world but the online ones I just tried seemed to ignore this little fact)
I short does anyone know a good online portscanner or is anyone willing to run NMAP or nessus against me?
Thanks Adam

I'll run nessus against you if you want. Sent me the ip, and I'll set it off tonight.
I've just done an iptables script. Wanna swap for info?
Cheers, Laurie.

yeah one teensy problem I forgot to mention, this is my home dial-up machine but if we could agree a time it would be OK.
I'll share the IPtables script a bit later (when I have added comments (well sensible comments anyway!))

Errr, that's a bit difficult!
Ok, we could try tonight, but I'm out between 6 and about 7:30. Send me an email, and if I respond reasonably quickly (ie. within 5 mins), it means I'm at my desk and working...
Cheers, Laurie.

I'm now off home unfortunatly ;(.. if you drop me a line tomorrow I'll run nessus and some nasties against your machine *evil cackle*.. it will take a while though (nessus is a bit slow for me, I dunno why??)...
drop me a line if you are interested... Sz
