Hi William,
That was not meant to be an attack on you, just Steve.
The man wouldn't know a clue if it hit him in the head with a lead pipe in the
kitchen.

Aye Jim, thanks for your input. I am aware that there is a strong opinion out
there that Steve Gibson's articles/apps are a bit dodgy (being naïve I couldn't
say this for myself), but knowing this, it is the reading of these articles
that helps me to expand my (limited) knowledge. Granted, I need to know that
they are invalid first, so that I can find out later what makes them invalid.
As always, thanks for your feedback.
Cheers

Sorry William, but I wouldn't trust Steve Gibson to shave in the morning.
He's the one with primary responsibility for "stealth" and "open a port" in the
public mind.
His tools are crap. "LeakTest, for instance raises a BRF (big red flag) if you
allow FTP through the firewall. Unfortunately, most folks DO allow FTP
outbound. his "theories" are crap (remember the "raw IP in Windows" panic he
raised a couple of years ago?) and his web site is little more than a
panic-driving web-tabloid.
</soapbox>
Also, bear in mind that online scanning, no matter how well written, is only as
accurate as the traffic policies in the devices between you and the scanning
app. For instance, an ICMP unreachable response to the scanner's request may
flag as "ok", but not if it came from an intermediate device.
I'll bet may of the public scanning sites don't even validate this small, but
important point.
My fav's:
- online - www.qualys.com. They are fast, accurate and don't use "pop
networking" terminology or recent events to create a demand for their serviceor
products.
- offline - scanline from www.foundstone.com. You place it on a host just
outside your ISA and let 'er rip. You compare the scanline eport with your ISA
logs and YOU KNOW the state of your firewall policies.

Can anyone recommend some port scanning sites that will tell me every single
port open on a server?
Thanks,
Rich
