Testing security

I apologize for asking this question. In a post from
several days ago about setting up better security there
was a site listed that actually tested several different
security issues. I thought I added it to my Favorites but
I can't find it. I also can't find the older post.

Can anyone point me to a free, legitimate testing site?

Thanks and I will record this information this time.

Hmm..

www.grc.com is reputable, and does this kind of testing.

However, by reputable, I don't mean that I agree with their sensationalist
and overblown rhetoric--take the language you see there with a grain of
salt. I just mean that it is a safe place to test.

Here are a couple - one to scan your firewall/network and the other one for MBSA
security analyzing tool.
