I'm trying to secure my computer against local network attacks for when I'm at university or a LAN party.
Although my dad's computer store is also running a Windows Server so it might be handy to check it against.
So, is there any specialized software that does some tests against a computer to see if it's properly secured?

@RoryAlsop: Nice spot, didn't know that site, but... Migrating to beta sites is discouraged and there is no migrate path set either. You might suggest to them on their meta that questions exist on communities like Super User so questions like these get migrated when the site goes out of beta... – Tamara Wijsman – 2011-04-06T13:58:10.623
good stuff. Hopefully it'll get out of beta very soon. Or at least within 6 - 8 weeks. – Rory Alsop – 2011-04-06T15:10:45.150
