[NTLUG:Discuss] Scanning networks

[Patrick Parks]

Ok... right under their logo it says for Windows users, but I went for 
it anyway, results:

Attempting connection to your computer. . .
Shields UP! is now attempting to contact the Hidden Internet Server
within your PC. It is likely that no one has told you that your own
personal computer may now be functioning as an Internet Server with
neither your knowledge nor your permission. And that it may be serving
up all or many of your personal files for reading, writing, modification
and even deletion by anyone, anywhere, on the Internet!

Your Internet port 139 does not appear to exist!
One or more ports on this system are operating in FULL STEALTH MODE!
Standard Internet behavior requires port connection attempts to be
answered with a success or refusal response. Therefore, only an attempt
to connect to a nonexistent computer results in no response of either
kind. But YOUR computer has DELIBERATELY CHOSEN NOT TO RESPOND (that's
very cool!) which represents advanced computer and port stealthing
capabilities. A machine configured in this fashion is well hardened to
Internet NetBIOS attack and intrusion.

Unable to connect with NetBIOS to your computer.
All attempts to get any information from your computer have FAILED.
(This is very uncommon for a Windows networking-based PC.) Relative to
vulnerabilities from Windows networking, this computer appears to be
VERY SECURE since it is NOT exposing ANY of its internal NetBIOS
networking protocol over the Internet.
