Thread: Would this worry you?

    Would this worry you?

    I have been asked to scan a friends network to see what it looks like from the Inet. Fter doing so, the results showed that he had thousands of ports open running udp services.
    Would this worry you if it was your gateway? If so why?

    Thanks

    Wow, sure it does worry me if it was my network, I'm sure there is someting critical wrong with network setup, your friend should close the unused ports imediately.
    if there is a web and mail server the only ports which should be open are 80 for web and 25/110 for mail and etc.

    I have tried to telnet to a few of the ports, but they do not respond, How else could I get more information on his gateway?

  6. #6
    ok if they don't respond it might be your port scanner is buggy and the ports are not open, how do you scan the ports?
    try " angry IP scanner" which has options which you are able to open the remote machine on explore, telnet, http, ...
    I guess you can find it in antionline's archive.

    I run nmap oin a Linux box.

    nmap -sU -PT -v xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

    I can connect to the mail server but none of the common commands work. I know that they use lotus notes, but all of the common UNIX like commands
    are disabled like: mail from:, rcpt to: vrfy... A tad bizare.. Any thoughts?

    It's probably something to do with the scanner setup. I don't think I've ever seen a box with *every* port open before...

    Ok, the problem lies within nmap here. When nmap scans UDP ports, it sends empty packets to the port and listens for ICMP port unreachable messages from those ports. If it doesn't receive those ICMp packets, it considers the port open, when in fact, the host just didn't respond. There are some other scanners out there (sorry, can't remember which ones, but I'll look and see if I can find one) that send garbage udp packets to those ports. By sending a UDP packet with a non-zero payload, more UDP ports will respond correctly and give a more accurate representation of the UDP ports that are actually open.

    Ok, thanks for explaining it for me :-)
