Many Connections to weird Ports??

August 25th, 2008

Well, I saw this title in one of our analytics &I have not had the pleasure of writing about computer security related topics for awhile. So, I think its time for one. This question came directly from a major search engine & some how this person landed on my blog. I will be coving ‘weird connections to TCP/IP ports’, while, this spans all operating systems that have some sort of connection to other computers over any distance(excluding Firewire, USB, parallel ports.) What you will need to know is first some basic information on TCP packet and IP(extremely basic nothing to indepth about headers as it will go beyond the scope of the article). Secondly, how to check up on what is happening with some cool, built in commands everyone should know that owns a computer. Finally, we will figure out if anything fishy is happening on the local computer in regards to worms, trojens etc. by an examination of the ports that are showing as opened and/or listening.

But, more importantly I needed help to see how the censored web is served..
