Think you're secure? Okay... let's see...
Nowadays, Internet users are exposed to several kinds of Internet threats,
such as software vulnerabilities, automated worms, viruses and random
Internet attackers. Properly configured personal firewalls are the first
line of defense to answer these threats.

to test different firewall capabilities. The idea behind them is simple: if
the test can bypass your computer's security, then so can a hacker.
