Re: Hidden Ports

In kernel (2.4) space you can hook the ip_recv routine in net/ipv4/ip_input.c and get the packet before it will be delivered to the tcp entity. To use static or unexported function or variable, you can access them directly by kernel memory, getting their address with objdump -d vmlinux
To make the hook you can use the cesari's method.
When a packet comes to this function you can do whatever you want, and then return to the original function. If you have other question, i'm here.. and if you think i said something wrong.. pls tell me.

Can a port scanner not see a port that is opened?

The question is: can a backdoor be on a machine, and with nmap -p 1-,
for example, you couldn't see it?

Thank you,
Eduardo
