Open router port testing?
Posted by Paul D.Smith on March 10th, 2005


Anyone recommend a site that will do a survey of which, if any, ports are
open from my Netgear DG384G ADSL router? I've read nasty rumours that even
with "close all ports", the router thinks it knows better and keeps a few
ports open.

Cheers,
Paul DS.

Probably the best site on the whole of the internet IMHO..!

What Steve Gibson doesn't know about internet security isn't worth
knowing.

I only know a little bit about it but http://grcsucks.com doesn't appear
unfounded.

Its a long-running feud. Best not to get involved.

Use Steve's site, check out a few others, see if there are major
discrepancies and then decide for yourself.

Yes, fond memories of optimising a bench full of 20MB MFM harddrives in
Sanyo 8086 machines with 8Mhz processors prior to installation at Pharmacy'
s.

Happy days.
