Can anyone reccomend a good port scanner or program to test the security of my website?

I recommend Shields Up! It's a great (free) online port scanner:\nhttp://www.grc.com/x/ne.dll?rh1dkyd2\n\nAnother free online port scanner you can use is the Sygate Online Scanner:\nhttp://scan.sygatetech.com/probe.html

define secure?\n\nIf you mean just password authentication.\n\nthen you can use one of the many free scripts available like\n\nSnitz (ASP) \nhttp://forum.snitz.com/\n\n& phpbb\nhttp://www.phpbb.com/\n\nThese are quite easy to install.\n\nJust drop it into your server root. and bring up the setup and config pages and you should be done in less than half an hour. 15  minutes, if you have done this (like I have) before...

You could do a reverse-DNS lookup.  I don't know how helpful the information would be from a security standpoint.  Also you would tax your web server's processor.

I tried Symantec, McAfee, and Kaspersky.  This doesn't show up anywhere.  I would guess it's something that's part of a valid application.

This depends on the extent of the scanning being done. Are you only looking to find IP's within your own LAN or public IP's? Are you scanning these for ports or just hunting down the IP's? Are you scanning Subnets for MAC's?\nGeneral port scanner: http://www.foundstone.com/index.htm?subnav=resources/navigation.htm&subcontent=/resources/proddesc/superscan.htm\nCain & Abel has a good Subnet MAC scanner: http://www.oxid.it/cain.html\nLast but not least, NMAP can usually take care of all these requests and then some. In this case, I'd suggest NMAP for everything you're looking to do, however the above programs mentioned have there highs. NMAP can also ping the subnet for IP's. http://www.insecure.org/nmap/download.html

There are ethical hacking softwares that can try to hack into your system and let you know your vulnerabilities. They are not free though. You will need to do research and find the one thats right for you.\n\nThey will let you know if you have any phishing, SQL injections, or hidden personal information tags on your website that needs to be recoded.

Sygate works well also and it is freeware.\n\n <edit> But there are other areas of compromise so you may want to research about securing your computer. </edit>
