firewall security tester


I have installed an ipchains firewall from a Webmin download and it appears to be working ok. Is there a website similar to PC Pitstop which I use on Windows to test the security of my Linux firewall?

I usually go to www.grc.com and use Shield's Up to check my Linux box.

securityspace is good, they offer a nice vulnerability scan...have a look. One other thing, if you are going to look at grc.com then you should look at grc.sucks.com as well as it contains articles written by some security authorities.
