RE: large scale distributed scan of port tcp 445

[Beau Monday <bmonday () scc mobilephone net>]

I can confirm that this port is open on a default installation of .NET
Standard Server.

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..

I didn't know any, but this might be something to consider, if nothing
else:
