My search turned up that port 29990 is a very common game server port, RTCW, and Threewave.
Port 51417 I found nothing useful on. Hope this helps. -----Original Message----- From: Dallas Jordan [mailto:DJordan@;sawgrassink.com] Sent: Wednesday, October 30, 2002 11:22 AM To: Security-Basics (E-mail) Subject: ports 29990 and 51417 scans Checking my snort logs this morning, I found several nmap TCP scans to port 29990 from about 6 different IP addresses. I also noticed that last week we were scanned from these same addresses on port 51417. Has anyone else seen this type of activity? I tried to find out some info on these ports but turned up nothing. I suppose these could be just compromised machines doing random scans for these ports? Does anyone know what could be using these ports? Thanks.
