personal firewall test site

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

TIA,

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 fuck cares?

LOL Sounds like someone got picked on a little too much in high school.

*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.

You confirmed me, I already wrote that.

Yes, see above (blind man, Every dog has its day). grcsucks was
mentioned.

Re: personal firewall test site

Check out nmap-online.com or many of the sites listed here:
http://www.alken.nl/online-security-check.htm

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. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Gibson

Download a copy of nessus onto another computer and scan your target
computer. http://www.nessus.org/ You could also give MetaSploit a try, but
it's doubtful as to whether you could actually make it work.
