RE: large scale distributed scan of port tcp 445

["Jim Harrison (SPG)" <jmharr () microsoft com>]

Any W2K or later OS from Microsoft (except maybe .NET server) installs
with that port open.
It's not specific to XP.  It was added to W2K as a NetBIOS -135/139
replacement.

The burden of proof is not satisfied by a lack of evidence to the
contrary..
