List of Ports

One of the biggest problems when you log the odd connection to a port is simply figuring out what in the world someone hoped to find there. Here's a compilation of various ports that might come up in scan logs, along with services, trojans, etc that someone might have been hoping to find.

In some cases the sources I used reported a port, but did not specify whether it was TCP or UDP. In these cases I've put a "?" in the Protocol column.

A "Yes" in the Trojan column indicates that the program(s) listed in the "What Uses This Port" are trojan horses, generally (heck, at this point exclusively) targeted at Windows users. Scans for these ports should always be considered hostile.

In some cases, a port might be used by both traditional services (mail, http, etc) and by various trojans. In these cases I've made a second entry for the trojans, rather than lumping them in with the traditional services. Connections to these ports *might* be the result of curiosity rather than malice: i.e., someone connecting to TCP port 80 might just be wondering if you have a neat web server running, rather than searching for the Executor trojan.

For a full list of these traditional services, please refer to RFC 1700, Assigned Numbers. This is the official list of which services have been assigned which ports. (This is a local copy maintained on Hugin for your convenience. It's a tad large, so if you're going to be using it a lot, I'd appreciate it if you simply downloaded it to your own machine. :-)

Another nice page for finding information on the "well-known" (i.e., established, legitimate services) is at Wesleyan University. This has links for many of the services providing additional information, such as relevant RFCs.

Web Sources

Although some of the sources are from Usenet postings, other are from web sites that other people and businesses have compiled. Here are links to these sites:

Extra thanks to David Bryant, who's been passing along info on a several of the less-documented services (Pilot netsync, swat, Quake, and assorted Unix utils), as well as several excellent links (Ohio State RFC repository, XForce, and others). Someday I will add links for those odd-ball ports, honest! :-)
