Busy site, building security.


Hello

My site is getting very busy and I would like to make the server as secure as possible.

I would like to scan for open ports and close all the unnecessary ones. What is a good way of scanning for open ports?

Thanks

HA!

now that is funny.

How about doing things properly,

When securing a server, close all the ports then open only the ones you need.

Simple!

p.s. [real named removed at request of member], your site is a file sharing site and hosts links to uploaded files. this is in breach of Copyright and a violation of statute + law in specific and recognized locations, which does include Newtown.

The site I was referring to is not the site in my profile.
