Is there a way to test our protective "armor"?

[QUOTE="silver0190, post: 1060264, member: 104323"] To tell the truth, I've opened several threads: 1) In the first I asked what a hacker could do with our IP and how to protect ourselves from possible attacks that go beyond installing the simple antivirus/firewall (basing my "fears" on real events like taking over an IP to create legal problems or create false evidence, if you don't believe it, there's a lot of news on Google about this); 2) In two other threads I exposed my security level of my computer and my smartphone: if there was a hacker in here, for example, he would already know what my "weak points" are. I would say that as an "undercover hacker", as you are alluding to, I would be quite stupid and naive, no? 3) My last thread concerns the request for software that can tell me where my computer is vulnerable, for example if there are weak passwords or in some hacker-database, if some application update is missing, and so on. I've never asked questions about getting around the internet without knowing it was me, that's your invention. I also admitted that I don't use any VPNs because I don't trust these programs. The administrator of this Forum can confirm that I am accessing the site with my real IP. Again, do you really think I'm a threat? You are free not to participate in my discussions, I will not be offended. However, if you tell lies about me because of your paranoid ideas, this is your problem and I don't accept it. [/QUOTE]
