PID hackable from an open port?
Hi there,
I recently got into a discussion with a friend on the insecurities of Win2k. He told me that if you have an open port and know the PID of a service, you can essentially take over that process. I had always been under the assumption that a port is tied to a service so only that service could be hacked, but nothing else. I know that MS has it's security problems but that seemed a bit too easy. If you think about it, it's not very difficult to find an open port on a server and the system process is always 8. With that knowledge no Win2k server would be secure. Please help? Thanks.
