- Testmypcsecurity.com – By Comodo. Provides a long list of tests to download, results for different security software against these tests
- Matousec’s Firewall Challenge – The latest Matousec tests, includes download of Security Software Testing Suite
- Firewall leaktester – The original testing site that provided a list of leak tests for download as well as results for different security software against these tests. The leak test results are now out-dated, though the site still maintains Anti-Keylogger Tester (AKLT), the top notch tool for testing keylogger protection.
