its a service.. it runs over various tcp and udp ports. e.g. 135-139 and 445 for windows 111 for solaris here is the msft bulletin on this vuln. understand that many operating systems use RPC, msfts has had more problems due to buffer overflows etc lately relative to unix based systems.

Services, protocols, and ports are completely seperate things. A protocol is something like an IETF standard like http. A service is the software that operates under the protocol, like Apache. The port is the network port (TCP or UDP) that the service runs on, like port 80. HTH, Jimi Mr Babak Memari wrote:What is The RPC exactly ? The RPC is a Protocol or a winXP-win2000-Service or a Port? www.Rabertgraham.com says that it is a Protocol . My windows says it is a Service . Some other articles says that it is a Port . And another questions : www.Rabertgraham.com in its FireWall-FAQ says these lines: [""Various errors with 127.0.0.1 : Some servers are misconfigured to map this address. On the other hand, it is also a hacker technique to cause names within the hacker domain to resolve to addresses within a company (including localhost/127.0.0.1).""] And my question is : How do they (Crackers) do that ? ----- Babak from IRAN www.voidspace.org.uk/babak2 www.voidspace.org.uk/babak--------------------------------------------------------------------------
