I guess you'd have to do a simulation run yourself, as those internet scans
leave something to be desired.
However, there's www.grc.com, but that's only a port scan. There's also
www.symantec.com, i think it's port scanning plus trojan attack simulation,
but i'm not sure how accurate it is.
Also, if you have win2k, there's microsoft baseline security analyzer, which
tests your OS.
But I'd LOVE to be able to set up some as a simulation. I was going to get
some computers and do a simulation like that. However, I'm still puzzled as
how to make them think it's an internet attack, not a LAN attack. I guess
maybe I gotta buy my neighbors a computer and internet or something.
Any suggestions?
