How safe are you? Sticky???

How safe are you?

Let Sheilds Up check if your ports/NetBIOS are accessable. Just scroll down and click on Proceed then choose a service below the blue banner for a report

Good luck

Yep, we've had this "stickied" before ... I must have tidied up one day.


oh, here is mine ...

Your system has achieved a perfect "TruStealth" rating. Not a single packet — solicited or otherwise — was received from your system as a result of our security probing tests. Your system ignored and refused to reply to repeated Pings (ICMP Echo Requests). From the standpoint of the passing probes of any hacker, this machine does not exist on the Internet. Some questionable personal security systems expose their users by attempting to "counter-probe the prober", thus revealing themselves. But your system wisely remained silent in every way. Very nice.

Nice one BT.

What's your's ...

Attempting connection to your computer. . .
Shields UP! is now attempting to contact the Hidden Internet Server within your PC. It is likely that no one has told you that your own personal computer may now be functioning as an Internet Server with neither your knowledge nor your permission. And that it may be serving up all or many of your personal files for reading, writing, modification and even deletion by anyone, anywhere, on the Internet!

Your Internet port 139 does not appear to exist!
One or more ports on this system are operating in FULL STEALTH MODE! Standard Internet behavior requires port connection attempts to be answered with a success or refusal response. Therefore, only an attempt to connect to a nonexistent computer results in no response of either kind. But YOUR computer has DELIBERATELY CHOSEN NOT TO RESPOND (that's very cool!) which represents advanced computer and port stealthing capabilities. A machine configured in this fashion is well hardened to Internet NetBIOS attack and intrusion.
Unable to connect with NetBIOS to your computer.

All attempts to get any information from your computer have FAILED. (This is very uncommon for a Windows networking-based PC.) Relative to vulnerabilities from Windows networking, this computer appears to be VERY SECURE since it is NOT exposing ANY of its internal NetBIOS networking protocol over the Internet.

use protection

100% OK

But then if you dont use protection you can end up with a virus

[font=Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,Sans-Serif,MS Sans Serif]Port 113[/font]

[font=Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,Sans-Serif,MS Sans Serif]IDENT[/font]

[font=Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,Sans-Serif,MS Sans Serif]Closed[/font][font=Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,Sans-Serif,MS Sans Serif]Your computer has responded that this port exists but is currently closed to connections.[/font]

Maybe this is why ??
Adaptive IDENT Stealthing Experimentation

The IDENT protocol's port 113 is quite problematical and tricky to stealth. If the user's port 113 is completely stealthed, connections to some remote Internet servers such as eMail, Internet Relay Chat (IRC), and others, may be delayed or denied altogether. For this reason, many NAT routers and personal firewalls do not attempt to stealth port 113, they settle for leaving it closed. One of the first things that caught my eye about the ZoneAlarm personal firewall was that it was clever about handling port 113: It "adaptively stealthed" the port.


To understand the following discussion, you should familiarize yourself with the details of the IDENT protocol and port 113. Please read port 113's Port Authority database page before proceeding.

Even after many years, the (free) ZoneAlarm personal firewall from Zone Labs is the only personal firewall to "adaptively" stealth port 113. Unlike any other firewall or NAT router (any of which could also do the same) this allows port 113 to be stealthed to any passing Internet scanners or probes, but "unstealthed" for any valid IDENT connection attempts originating from remote servers with which the user's computer is attempting to connect. (Since this could easily be done by any personal firewall or even NAT routers, I am hopeful that this feature might yet appear in other products.) "Adaptive Stealthing" means that when a TCP SYN packet arrives to request a connection to your machine's port 113, ZoneAlarm checks, on the fly, to see whether your machine currently has any sort of "relationship" with the remote machine (such as a pending outgoing connection attempt). If so, the remote machine is considered to be "friendly" and its IDENT request packet is allowed to pass through ZoneAlarm's firewall. But if the IDENT originating machine is not known to ZoneAlarm as a "friendly" machine, the connection requesting packet is dropped and discarded, rendering port 113 stealth to all unknown port scanners. It's very slick.

Don't worry too much over that ... some Routers purposely have that port open so you can use instant massaging ... if you dont use it, then you should close it via the Router's configuration.

A firewall such as ZoneAlarm will intelligently close & open as necessary.

Sorry Mucks...

But with the sygate i get 2 closed??
