open port advice
hey guys, i ran nmap on myself and found something interesting, wondered if someone could explain it?
before you tell me to google it, i have and found this: 623 tcp aux_bus_shunt Aux Bus Shunt 623 udp aux_bus_shunt Aux Bus Shunt a unknow service on 623, the only way i can explain it is the connection to my router? Code:
Interesting ports on localhost (127.0.0.1): Code:
5478 tty1 Ss+ 0:00 /sbin/mingetty tty1 thanks in advance |
the second half: this is the program "mingetty" waiting for input on tty1 ..tty6 - these are your virtual consoles - you reach them by CTRL+ALT+1 ... to ...6
- nothing to worry about. 6000/tcp open X11 - your X server is listening on this port - if you don't need it to - reconfigure the startup-options for it. If you use a display-manager like gdm you do this in it's configuration file - otherwise via the config-file for the startup script (startx) - I can't be more specific here. the option you need to add to disable the server listening on that (or any) port is: -nolisten tcp |
Quote:
This should return the pid/executable name of the application that has the port open. you can proceed from there. i.e. Code:
itg-debian:~# netstat -lnp | grep 22 so now I know a bit more about what it is and how to kill it if need be. |
cheers guys, great help!
