That site is quite helpful. I use Opera on Windox XP SP2 and according to the shieldsup test my browser and computer are completely secure.

This tool is very quick and easy to use. So far I have been told that my computer is special as it cannot be seen at all! All of my common ports are in 'stealth' mode and my PC is entirely secure  I would advise everyone to try it. Its entirely harmless, very quick and simple and provides some useful information.

I'm hidden behind my wireless router, so as I expected, everything is secure. The tests ran pretty fast, and gave cleanly formatted results.

I ran that like two months ago, and am happy to report that I'm all good. But you want a shock turn off your firewall, if it's an option, and then run the test. All my ports were closed except one, but you know as it says stelth is better.

Very nice and helpful resource. I found that my computer is also QUOTE So far I have been told that my computer is special as it cannot be seen at all! All of my common ports are in 'stealth' mode and my PC is entirely secure I might have to use this every so often. I took the first 3 tests and passed each of them. Hopefully it will stay that way. I thought it would find something but I guess not.

I am thankful for this service. I recently got a new firewall software and I wanted to know if it was effective. This test proved it was - all my ports were on Stealth, except port 443, which was being used for a secure connection at the time. The filesharing test also passed - the firewall blocked any package information that was sent. I would, however, not reccomend juat doing the SheildsUp! Tests. On the website, there is also a very helpful tool called LeakTest. Some firewalls only block incoming connections, and do not block outgoing ones except in very extreme circumstances. This tool will see if an outgoing connection can be done - if not, your firewall is secure. It can also check if your firewall can be exploited by attempting to make the connection in stealth mode, if you hold Shift during the test. I tried this and it proved my computer is very secure. I highly reccomend these tools, they can really help your safety and security!

I've been told that I too have a stealth connection, no ports open for attack, no vulnerabilities etc etc but...wtf.... is there someone whose machine was said to be vulnerable ?? I really do not think that the test results are so true....Not to mention that program they're marketing.

I dont know if I found out about this here but I found out about this just recently a month or so ago after I installed Outpost Firewall. Any way I have to say that this a very usefull and all around well presented service that also has a real use. Any way I finally got a Tru Stealth rating yey for me. I just did it at my friends house hes using Norton Internet security he failed, his computer replied to the ICMP Echo request all the ports were stealth though.

Thanks Moogie, that link worked well. It doesn't give the detailed report like the Gibson Software, but it seems to confirm that my security is alright on the mac. Thanks for finding that one. Keep up the good work.
