Does this mean you don't recommend GRC's DCOMbobulator? ;-)

GRC.com?
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
