yea yea. stupid whois search. I left xnull over a year ago. The same company who makes YABB. I get emails all the time saying we are sorry we were hacked again. They haven't even updated thier mailing list. Thier security blows. Service sucks. Live and learn. Not the peeps I have now rock. I call 24/7 I get a live body and the issue is fixed in 5 minutes. Live and learn

Yeh, your ISP sucked too ... Dear god they sucked... Well, you learned that UBB is god if you have the cash for it ...

for future reference if i may, go to :[link removed].
this program will do alot of the work for you.

You post was just

SHUT DOWN

heh

...

If theres one thing that pisses me off more than anything it's when people register just to promote a site in a post...

Yea, Like if I came on her and advertised my site .

yeh but you're differant, we at least like you

Ahhhh. Thanks guys! Oh I will pay you early this month to keep saying stuff like that.

pay me?

Shhh, friendship dues.

yey!

..yeah..

hehehe...that's always easier. Or nmap/saint/satan if your a linux user...just thought I'd say. Netstat for me, is getting old, I like it when people reinvent the wheel. As has been done, in revolutions since long before even written glyphs.

On a related note: Anyone have a list of what programs use which ports? And which ports you don't want open? Also how to close them..

EDIT: I heard that port 5000 is a trojan port, and my computer is listening to it. What's it actually for?

http://www.iana.org/assignments/port-numbers


Heh, now study the TCP/IP protocols on the ports you have questions about. No port is reserved for a trojan. A trojan may use a specific port but when the brain trust developed TCP/IP protocol suit they did not say lets reserve port XXXX for a trojan

commplex-main 5000/tcp
commplex-main 5000/udp


Looks like port 5000 can be used with TCP or UDP

RFC 739 TCP(TRANSMISSION CONTROL PROTOCOL)
ftp://ftp.rfc-editor.org/in-notes/rfc793.txt


RFC 768 UDP(User Datagram Protocol)
ftp://ftp.rfc-editor.org/in-notes/rfc768.txt

Think of TCP and UDP as similar but different protocols. Also study the OSI modle. Here is a basic TCP/IP protocol stack in relation to the OSI model

As you can see both UDP and TCP are on the transport layer of the OSI modle. This is because they are both used for transport. Read and understand what I just gave you and you will have better questions to ask.

If you want to learn to network security.. Study the TCP/IP prtocol stack. Everything you do in a network involves at least several protocols. Learn how the work. How networking in general works. What each layer of the OSI modle describes. How the TCP/IP modle stack is laid out *When authentication starts* Oh and here is where number systems come in handy...
