-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Whoops, I abruptly cut off the last message before clueing you into this last tidbit. The fact that the person is trying to connect to 2140 does not necessarily mean that you have the Trojan on your computer. It might just be a harmless Trojan scan. The best way to figure this out is to either update your virus definitions and scan for it, or if you are on a Windows box, drop into your command line and type 'netstat -a' without the ' of course. This will show you a current list of all ports that are open on your computer. Look through that list to see if you find any of those open ports. Sorry for the confusion, or the paranoia that you might have suffered in knowing that you might have a trojan on your box. ~Jayson Broughton HQ-All Bases Covered Network & Security Admin -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGPfreeware 6.5.2 for non-commercial use <http://www.pgp.com> iQA/AwUBOI4kW6e75Wq9veF/EQL8ggCg96Iuay+1bYkqtHrRVV869+K78kcAoKBZ AUYEtdwnckw8ATNMnNPK6O5h =dZgZ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Ruben Vandille wrote:
Hi there, Since a week or something like that, someone/something tries to connect via UDP to port 2140 of my computer... I haven't found any information on possible attacks that use "remote port 2140"... Does anybody know what is happening here? Thanx in advance, R.
