Check www.grc.com. Follow for the ShieldsUp! links. There are two tests here that I can never remember the difference between. It is Windows oriented and is a marketing ploy to get you to buy their firewall products. When you think you are ready for the bigger time, try www.vulnerabilities.org. It runs a Nessus scan. Nessus scans for vulnerabilities, not just open ports. It is built on top of nmap. Note: it will give some false alarms. It warned me about a Sendmail vulnerability, but I use Postfix. This site has a big pipe and can really hammer your system. I had an effective DoS because I received so many e-mails from my alarms that the load skyrocketed and the e-mail wilted under the load. If you pass both of these, you are probably safe from the random scans of the script kiddies. For a high visibility website, you may need some real, live expertise.
