Stealthing my ports help ?

[JurgNet]

Not sure if this is the correct section to post this thread ,
but I need to know how to stealth all my ports using Outpost security suite pro 7.5

Did you try reading of the Help Guides with the software?

Not quite sure if you still need this...

Open Settings, select Firewall node and select Run in Stealth Mode checkbox, if not selected already, which may be its default setting.

Use the Firewall Policy slider to select a firewall mode according to your requirements.

Initially, Rules Wizard is a good starting point, which in conjunction with the Rules auto-creation settings under General -> ImproveNet [set this depending on whether you're comfortable with letting Outpost to auto generate rules, based on these being well-known, signed by trusted vendors, etc.] should be good to get you up and running. Note that you're facing some serious prompt activity .

If you're confident that you're clean and there's no malicious activity present on your PC, you can switch to Learn Mode for a while to try and aleviate the pain associated with having to manually add rules. Right-click on the OSS icon in the notification area and select Enter Auto-Learn Mode...from the context menu.

Once you're comfortable with the rules, you may consider switching the firewall policy to Block Most, which will block anything that isn't explicitly allowed. I'm running Block Most for both Background and Entertaintment Mode policy too.

Edit - added screenshots.

http://www.pcflank.com/scanner1s.htm

Packet' type Status
TCP "ping" non-stealthed
TCP NULL non-stealthed
TCP FIN non-stealthed
TCP XMAS non-stealthed

if my memory is good, if you are behind a router, PC flank check the router not the firewall.

You are right on umbrapolaris, that is exactly what is happening, GRC will do the same.

Hi JurgNet, apologies for the post, I must have misunderstood the question. Will check PCFlank and GRC later and post the results [it's been a while since I've done these].

Yep this is correct. You need to know your router address and log in. Yours will look different compared to mine below.

Go to your routers Firewall settings and check that its enabled then run the test again. I have mine set to High.

This is my result.

Yep this is correct. You need to know your router address and log in. Yours will look different compared to mine below.

Normally to get into your router you type 192.168.1.1 in the address bar, or the one that you have set.

Different brands of routers have different addresses. As mine is not 192.168.1.1.

I checked 2 PCs currently running OSS and got Stealthed. Unable to post router settings, can't remember the password right now, how embarrassing...

P.S. GRC ShieldsUP! passed as well.

Don't blame you lol. Mines 128+ characters long I can't remember it so I have it saved for when ever I need it.

 

[McLovin]

These are password and default IP addresses of routers that I have found and tested myself.

Stealthing ports is just a marketing gimmick.
As long as your ports are closed then you are perfectly fine.
