Three safety tests for any web user

With the daily threats that plague users of the web for this world, it is essential to verify the security policies of your machine / system in order to avoid greater evils. In this context I will present the following three safety tests.

Firewall Test

This is a test at the doors of your machine for possible security breaches with open doors. Can obtar by three different tests, the basic test that looks only for ports that typically without user knowledge are open, the same test can be performed at a range of ports defined by the user. There is also the advanced testing that allows you to choose the ports to be examined.

To begin the test have to know your ip (the ip in principle be automatically detected), follow the following for this page omeuip.com check your ip address.

Test your browser

This test will try to crash your browser (browser). The test will try to exploit known vulnerabilities in the user's browser that was previously detected in order to try each of the situations. If your browser is not updated the likelihood of bugs compromise their online safety is very high, more aggressive that the cases can allow remote access to your machine.

With my Firefox 3:05 everything is in order and no anomaly was found.

Test your popup blocker's

PopUp blocker's are applications that block the opening of windows not authorized by the user while browsing the web. PopUp is therefore the window open without the user's consent. This test will have a note 1-100 where 100 is the complete blocking of popups.

If by chance you do not have an application / extension dedicated to block popup windows do not worry because nowadays many browsers already have a pretty nice pop-up blocker.

Remember, safety is never enough!

Often we leave aside the issue of computer security, but it's always good to be aware of this to avoid headaches.
