Hi,


got many computers with these two port opened... what they are and is there any way to exploit them ?

thx

Did a quick google,

found this
http://keir.net/portlist.html

list of what ports are used for what known programs. Of course this may not be what you are seeing, could just be an unprotected comp.

I havent seen any exploit for these ports... but that doesnt mean they arent out there.

thx

HI,
does any one know how to close the unnecssary ports on my
pc manually, i have got alot ports listening...any good software
will be appreciated or info..
thanx

install a firewall, something like kerio or tiny is good. Or, get a router and close everything you dont need open off

Personally, I use both, the firewall and a router.

(although, Im using a hardware router, not something flash or cool like a freeBSD box running as one )

hey erra , hardware routers arnt very safe anymore, do you have your acl files hidden well? is it a switched network? because if its not switched it could be sniffed and if you dont take care of your acl's people will find a way in i dont mean to fraternize you just telling you its possible to get through a router

What really the problem with the security of a hardawre router with NAT? Because with NAT, you need to forward the specific service port to your host in order to gain access form a host on the internet to the host behind the NAT.

Maybe i'm wrong but I always thought that hardware routers were very secure.

to bypass a router you just make a reverse connection with yourself

Anyone who owns a router and has set it up, im SURE is clever enough to look at security updates and to secure his acl files.... *checks ip of erra* lol

I have mucked around with the acls... But I dont usually bother too much with my home machine. The router is Natted, and it switched. And there is the software firewall as well just in case I missed something important..... I know I should take the time to make something a bit more secure... but Im a lazy bastard And my connection sucks.... so no one would be too interested
