udp port 1024
Hello!
this is my first post and i'm quite desperate for help. I've considered posting this in networking section, but it looks more security related to me. It's a while since i'm trying to figure out what is udp port 1024. No help from google here as well :( Doing fuser shows it's named: root@gw:~# fuser -v 1024/udp USER PID ACCESS COMMAND 1024/udp root 182 f.... named This port is open on all network interfaces (0.0.0.0) despite the fact that named is configured to run only on one inerface. I've tried looking in bind documentation, but found nothing as of yet. I also get lot's of connections to that port from variuos ips, typicaly 2-3 packets from one ip, all ips i've checked were from US, one was from NASA networks :). I've blocked the port for now. If anyone has info, please help. P.S. happy Easter!!! :) Yours, frgtn |

Thanks for your reply, Jonathan.
Well i don't think it's bad to block that port too, but the thing that concerns me is the purpose of it. My guesses are that it might be used for transferring stuff like zones or something over different dns servers, but i don't know. I've never configured bind before, so i'm beginning to think i've missed something. Yours, frgnt |
