Shields Up!

We did an activity in class that I thought would be worth sharing for anyone who happens to stumble across this blog. Gibson Research Corporation has a webtool that allows you to test all of your TCP ports, and reports which are close, stealth, or open. It's graphical and really easy to understand. At first I didn't realize, but you can mouse-hover over each individual block (representing a port) and it will give some information about it including the port number and name, and what services are provided. Sounds fun, right?

Click here, then click the 'proceed' button. When the next page loads, click the grey button that reads 'All Service Ports', and let it do it's thing. When it finishes, you'll have a very readable report. Make sure to scroll down and read through the rest of the information on the page as well, it's informative and fairly "noob-friendly."
