thanks jason.

That's a pretty basic test however and I can't remember any in depth ones. Check dslreports.com and pcpitstop.com as they should have something as well.

Why dont you just perform a full audit, theres no way any prog can give you an accurate secuirty analysis

this is why i started this thread, i don't know how to do this _C0D3CR4ZY_. i wanted to know how to test my security. got any links to articles on how to do so?
