Go to ShieldsUP! and click GRC’s “Instant UPnP Exposure Test”. NEW SHIELDS UP! TEST: UPnP Exposure Test! Try and scroll down to the 2nd tool in the list: I was trying to provide the ultimate url and grc doesn’t work using the landing page. Now mind you the attackers can still get you with browser attacks and phishing these days so I’d argue that this “direct” attack method is less likely to occur these days, but especially if you have older tech that relied on specific ports to be open, this is still a quick and dirty tool to use to check that your outside edge of your network is what you expect it to be. It lets you see what an attacker can see on your system from the outside. Shields up showcases ports from the outside of your computer. You can visit the site and have it scan typical ports.īut keep in mind it only scans about 1000 ports on the “all service ports” and there’s over 64,000 ports that can “talk” in your computer system. One of the ways a home user can see if you are vulnerable for external attacks – especially if you have devices that allow for remote access is using a port scanner.
