Wandering, high, open UDP port detected by nmap

conn-fused · 05-15-2005, 06:18 AM

Today I noticed that "nmap -v -sU -p 1-65535 localhost" is consistently returning one open UDP port above 32000. Every time I run nmap, the port is somewhere else between 32000 and 65535 ... never in the same place twice.

I tried "netstat -ap | grep udp" to figure out what was responsible, but I get nothing back at all. What could be causing this?

Thanks in advance for any thoughts.

Very sorry all, I've figured it out. Nmap itself is responsible. Want more info? See:
