Twisted Tx a lot ...now we wont have anyone askin "hey i got a #22 port open .is this a dangerous port ?... lol ...nice job

[TwistedSnyper]

No problem Memory. Yai i was gettin tired of that stuff too. So there u go if they ask about ports direct them to my tut.

[Syini666]

Thats a good list to start out with, but if you really want to know the full list of ports, check out RFC 1700 for an exhaustive list of ports and the apps/services that use them. The RFC is a bit outdated, but still reasonably useful. lol, and as for the open ports comment, just about any open port is a danger really, because no program is perfect or completely secure, but that is besides the point. Also, the RFC is rather large, and contains more than just the port list, so don't open it and just hit print otherwise your going to have a huge pile of paper.

Excuse the poor formatting and popups due to the free host i am using but I have put a full list of registered ports on my website.

This is IMO the best available port-list out there :

Thnx man i have been searching for this list ...and thnx 2 mark_boyle2002 :*

.:Shrekkie:. - yup that's perhaps the best list I have found out there for port numbers assignment.

Also, as Soggybottom pointed out on another thread, don't take those lists as the end all of what is running on those ports. Just about anything can be listening on any port, these are the lists of what SHOULD be running there. It's always a good idea to double check if in doubt.

I have always liked Kurt Seifried's list
