[Joel Hammer]

I tried this web site. I log just about all activity on my firewall,
and although I got a stealth result for all my ports except 0 from this
web site, I cannot find any attempts to attach to a large number of my
ports in my logs, including 80, which is open, as is port 113. Both were
marked stealth by the scan. 

Has anyone a similar experience?

I got a Failed result from this test because my machine responded to a
ping request. I think I'll leave this in place.

Are these guys serious?

Would someone kindly run nmap against hammershome.com and mail me the
results?  (joel at hammershome.com)

Thanks,

Joel
