[QUOTE="Victor M, post: 1102901, member: 96560"] You can do simple penetration tests on yourself. A pen test is more than a vulnerability scan. It uses hacking tools to simulate an attack. Penetration tests used to be an expensive endeavor requiring you to hire a pen test company and can span several days. However automation has caught up. Much like testing your AV's detection capabilities with live malware, you want to detect what holes you have remaining after you have applied all your protections. It is termed 'offensive security'. Intruder.io has a 7 day free trial allowing you do a test of your own ip and web presence. Just go to whatsmyip.org, copy the ip address and paste it into Intruder's site. And enter also your web page URL into the targets if you have any. If you want it to scan past your router/hardware firewall you have to install an agent onto your PCs. It gives you a PDF results download. [URL unfurl="true"]https://portal.intruder.io/free_trial[/URL] You need to provide a credit card to do the pen test. Just remember to delete the scheduled monthly test, and unsubscribe to their service when you have finished testing. They also want a company email address, if you don't want to use yours, just use a free temporary email service and wait for the verification email. [/QUOTE]
