How to test your firewall

[Pelican56]

But how do you test your personal firewall? Security researchers have developed small, non-destructive, leak testers, that deliberately attempt to test different firewall capabilities. The idea behind them is simple: if the test can bypass your computer’s security, then so can a hacker.

There are many leak-testing programs available. Each one designed to test a particular flaw and each using a particular technique to bypass a firewall’s standard protection mechanisms. We’ve compiled a list of tools we believe will be of value to both home users and advance users.

Scary stuff. I think it’s best to post these sites here for comment before using them.

But if you read the entire web site, it stated that your Anti-Virus software would pick it up as a virus, but it was not.

Since we are on the subject, here are two sites:
