    I'm a home user - Win 10 laptop and Android phone/tablets. Wonder if there are folks who provide pen tests - not just hardware, but also email's, etc.? Curious how good my "defenses" are - esp. the interface piece between chair and keyboard??

    I assume by "pen" test, you mean penetration testing.
    English is not the primary language of everyone who visits here. People might think you mean some sort of writing implement.

    I always started with penetration testing my own network where I had admin priv's.
    Its a great way to learn without breaking the law!

    There are many software tools online that can help you achieve a desired result.
    Do some research on the engines, and learn how to gather info on your target network!

    I have used many of these tools in the past

    They are mainly outdated now below new tech, but still useful in understanding how this page ticks.

    Remember to have permissions from your target, the aim here is to find any holes that may exist in the targets security matrix.
    Then inform the target of them in order to stop the black hats gaining access.

    Thats Penetration Testing.
