OPEN Ports

[prabhupr]

Hi

Is there any easy way to find out if there are any OPEN Ports on a BOX
that are threat to the system

From the command prompt type netstat -a and look out for anything running on
the non standard ports. Or even on the standard ports, so if you dont have
telenet active make sure port 23 (i think from memory) isnt open etc.

Knowing if it is a threat depends on your server, you should know what ports
should and should not be in use just from the apps you have installed.
