Port scanners and hacker tools

[paul dallaire]

HI! I managed to get my firewall working with IIS and FTP Servers so I went
to a placed called shieldsUP to see if my un-used ports are stealth. well
there are ( Except of coarse port 80 and 21) which are used for IIS And FTP.
but now I want to further check for compromises.

Is there tools like port scanners and other intrusion software out there
that can scan for holes in my setup?

I long time ago I heard of a tool called SATAN. ( although would be more
than I can understand at the moment)

Is another one that someone can recommend me?

Paul

HI! thanks for the response. I tried it and got the same results as I did at
ShieldsUP. Which is good as I know that my software firewall was not just
adapting to the site.

I have downloaded the IIS Lockdown tool. does this also help for the FTP
part of IIS?
