Ang taas naman nyan! 65535 is the highest possible tcp port. Anyway, if you are going to change your ssh port, you should avoid the commonly scanned ports. When performing a portscan, by default, the latest version of nmap scans only a specific list of ports which are enumerated in the nmap-services file. Only around 1200+ tcp ports are scanned out of a possible 65535, so it would help if you avoided the ports enumerated there. Of course, someone who has a lot of time could simply tell nmap to scan all 65535 ports if he really wants to find your SSH port... -bodgie _________________________________________________ Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [email protected] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Read the Guidelines: http://linux.org.ph/lists Searchable Archives: http://archives.free.net.ph
