Re: Port 65535

There was an old trojan that use to run on 65535. I believe 
it was called Linuxemu. That was some time ago though, not 
sure if a newer trojan is also using that port.

Hey all...

        Been watching a rather strange scan of our Class C 
for the past week; I
don't know if I'd even call it a scan.  Perhaps a 
misconfigured machine, or
something?  Here's a log snippet:

        I'm denying all of them at the firewall.  I'm 
rather curious as to what
it is, though.  The source is a machine in Israel, and, as 
of yesterday, the
scans were continuing on an intermittent basis.  When it's 
happening, it sends
out a packet to our machine exactly every two minutes.

        Anybody have any idea on this one?

                                                Mike

        I can't think of anything pithy to say at
        all, today.  So, I ramble.
