[thelist] SECURITY: testing your own sites security

[Chris W. Parker]

hi.

(i'm using win2k advanced server.)

i'd like to know where i can find some tools, or suggestions on how to
best test my websites security.

besides patches and service packs, and let's say, a firewall allowing
only SMTP, HTTP, HTTPS traffic through... any other suggestions? also...
where is a good resource that explains in laymans terms what the
difference between TCP, UDP, and ICMP packets are? as well ACK, SYN,
etc.

thanks!
