Could someone list a couple of non-bias sites that list performance testing results of software personal firewalls?
TIA, DS

Hm... what exactly should perform with "software personal firewalls"? How fast they crash on a standard driver stress test? How fast the crash on creating random network traffic? How soon their internal buffers overflow? How long they need to recover from a simple message flood?
And: Who the f*ck cares?
LOL Sounds like someone got picked on a little too much in high school.
Check out the Shield's Up tests on grc.com. Interesting site. (Sebastian hates it).

& the following (Win 98 / WinNT).
Wolfgang A blind man may sometimes hit the mark.
*geez* Yes, we already know that even Steve Mustache^W Gibson has at least something written correctly. That still doesn't change anything about that:
- the rest of what he wrote is utter bullshit
- ShieldsUp is full of written bullshit
- ShieldsUp rarely produces correct results
- it's unsuitable for auditing the performance of firewalls anyway
Beside that, the claim that I'd hate that site is pretty much overstated.
Hallo Sebastian G., Du teiltest mit:
You confirmed me, I already wrote that.
Yes, see above (blind man, Every dog has its day). grcsucks was mentioned.

Check out nmap-online.com or many of the sites listed here:

As others have mentioned, I'd only recommend looking at grc.com if you get a laugh from pratfalls and other forms of physical comedy. That sounds like the makings of a YouTube video: Steve Gibson falls from 2nd story window, chokes on MTU. q.v.

Take a look at this site:

Download a copy of nessus onto another computer and scan your target computer.

You could also give MetaSploit a try, but it's doubtful as to whether you could actually make it work.
