I've looked at: http://www.iana.org/assignments/port-numbers
to find out about all the open ports I have, and I have a few questions if someone cares to explain. This is mainly out of curiousity, but also I would like to know about any vulnerabilities I may have. The following ports are open, and I would like to know how necessary it is to close any of them. Port 6 is unassigned - yet netstat shows it as listening. the -nap options and lsof -i don't really tell me what it is doing. Any clue? 111 - Sun Remote Procedure Call - This is required by portmap right? And portmap is required for all RPC servers right? I'm assuming I need this? 587 - Submission - ??? 953 - is supposed to be unassigned but is listening - any ideas? 1024 - supposed to be reserved but is listening? 1026 - ditto 2062 - ICG SWP Port - any ideas what this is? 2084 - Unassigned but listening. 3130 - ICPv2 - What is this? I've run the numerous internet security scanning services, and according to them, I'm OK for security. The above just has me a little stumped. Am I overly worried?
