Re: Port 8081 mystery

Hello,

Yesterday, I saw in my corporate net, same port in nmap scan. 
In my case it is ESET Nod32 Corporate update service listing at 8081 TCP.
My nmap output seems very like yours...

HI list...

I ran a nmap scan on quite a few machines on my internal subnet and one
port that appears on all those scans, especially the machines that are
still running adequately patched but older Windows 2000 workstations, is
tcp 8081. Though nmap shows this as blackice-icecap port I do not find any
such application running in task manager neither is this installed.

nestat-a just lists this port as 'Listening' and does not list any
application name assigned to it, so why is this port there? Who is using
this? I have ran antivirus scan and spybot checker just to rule out any
malware possibilities.

Nessus Scan (tis weeks plugin feed) does not show this port listed amongst
any vulnerability.

Here is the nmap output:

SuSE101:/home/root # nmap -O 192.168.126.245 --osscan-guess
