It could also be a reassigned port... some sysadmins (like me) change the port numbers of anything which could be used for exploits (telnet, ftp, ssh) which the standard users don't need to use (so having an http daemon on port 6667 would be a bad idea). DALnet also uses Port 7000 as the default port, but I don't know of any other IRC networks which recommend this as the default port. Easiest way to find out what it is is to telnet to it and try a few random commands. ==== Mark Collins (aka Nurgle) WWW: http://www.thisisnurgle.org.uk email: me () thisisnurgle org uk Phone: +44 (0)7720 703 073 -----Original Message----- From: Jonathan <jonathan () WOAF NET> To: VULN-DEV () SECURITYFOCUS COM <VULN-DEV () SECURITYFOCUS COM> Date: 13 June 2000 14:28 Subject: Re: weird bug found
