    is all that stuff neccesary? Are you using each of those services? Have you run windows updates? Are you using any kind of firewall?

    if by safe you mean having multiple (possibly un-needed) ports open, then sure.


    just messing with you. look at what each thing does. do you use things like term serv? if not, close the port. Id get a firewall though.

    Was that scan from within a perimeter firewall or outside it.... More to the point, does a perimeter firewall exist?

    Is it being used as a server? If so, forget the firewall and just kill any uneeded services, and lock down the ones you need. Of course make sure all patches are up to date.

    If you go the firewall route, Kerio has some nice firewalls, both enterprise level, and home level that are worth checking out. The nice thing about Kerio is that their firewalls combine IDS for bidirectional protection.

    Kind of old...

    7/tcp open echo
    9/tcp open discard
    13/tcp open daytime
    17/tcp open qotd
    19/tcp open chargen
    These are part of the "Simple TCP/IP services". You don't need them. Remove it.

    21/tcp open ftp
    25/tcp open smtp
    80/tcp open http
    443/tcp open https
    These are part of IIS. If you don't need the smtp and http services, stop them using the IIS management console.

    42/tcp open nameserver
    53/tcp open domain
    DNS Server. Not sure. You may need it if you're running AD.

    515/tcp open printer
    Unix printing services. Probably don't need it. Remove it.

    548/tcp open afpovertcp
    AppleTalk. If you don't have any Apple computers on your network remove it.

    6666/tcp open irc-serv
    Not sure about these. Could be some kind of IRC backdoor.

    7007/tcp open afs3-bos
    Microsoft Streaming Media Services. If you don't need it, remove it.

    is my ports on this box safe or not what should i do to keep them close ?
    No, your box is not safe. It looks like you enabled every single service possible on a W2K.
    How to keep them closed? Only enable services you actually need/use.

    If you stop or remove the service the ports will automaticly be closed.
