269288 2004-09-04 16:14:00 Just been doing some late-night browsing and came across:
bcheck.scanit.be
browsercheck.qualys.com

Ive also been doing some searching and found some interesting Firewall test results (did it yesterday) and found out that only a "dated" version of Zone-Alarm, and one other little firewall Id never heard of truly blocked everything.

I did the browsing from a CyberCafe yesterday and so I'll try and find the tests for the Firewalls, but has anybody else given much thought to their software firewalls (For windows-based users here... I trust iptables ;-)).

Anyways, What'd you all score for the browser tests?!


Chill.

269289 2004-09-04 16:38:00 Well the top link gave me a full clean bill of health absolutley no vulnerabilities at all. The bottom link would work as I don't use internet explorer Odin (227)
269290 2004-09-04 16:39:00 er that should be would NOT work :D :D Odin (227)
269291 2004-09-04 17:37:00 I spent some time on the checks before discovering they were only for Internet Explorer.
As I'm on Firefox, they weren't relevant.
I had to go a long way into the processes to find that out.
Rather a waste of time, sadly..

The browsercheck.qualys.com quite clearly says on the front page "This application supports only Microsoft Internet Explorer on the Windows operating system." So needless to say I didn't try out that security test.

For the bcheck.scanit.be site, my Mozilla Firefox 0.9.3 on a Linux Platform passed with flying colours :D

That site has some interesting statistics (bcheck.scanit.be). Over half of the participants had med-high risks still.
