Hi Guys,

Just ran the “Common Port” test using Gibson Research Corporation at GRC | ShieldsUP! — Internet Vulnerability Profiling  , but failed with the following result which is shown as below.

I am using CIS with Windows XP Home Edition behind ASUS WL-520GU router; and did not modify or change any rule in CIS nor router.

Does anyone have the same experience? Any help or suggest is highly appreciated, thanks a lot!

Hello JoH,

This scan result is showing your Routers config because that’s listening to the address GRC is scanning.
Looks like your router has send a TCP RST packet to GRC for accessing the ftp port of it.

From what i have read on other forums it looks like it’s a “default” setting, i guess you have to go and look for some firewall option on the external interface, or maybe disable it’s internal ftp service ?

Hello Ronny,

Thank you for your time and suggestion!

Will check again the router configuration if “port 21” is closed or listening; and of course work on the external interface. Hoping good news will be posted soon.

Thanks again!
