ronz28 Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 (edited) Based on the following U.S. Department of Homeland Security warning I disabled plug and play in my router settings. http://www.reuters.c...E90S06320130129 It was easy and no problems noted yet but I may have to turn it on temporarily If I change my network configuration.

aarn Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Here are the links (w'doze, linux) to download (free) a vulnerability testing tool http://www.metasploit.com/download/. There is quite a comprehensive installation guide at https://community.rapid7.com/docs/DOC-1569 Looks like there is the potential really muck up your system, but I played round doing a basic scan, comp emerged after 20 mins without damage.

JetsetBkk Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 I don't have UPnP enabled in the router (always read there were risks) and I changed the password when I got it. Ain't gonna bother with anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronz28 Posted February 2, 2013 Author Share Posted February 2, 2013 I notice Steve Gibson's Shields Up website now has check for UPnP exposure test along with other computer security tests at https://www.grc.com/x/ne.dll?bh0bkyd2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
