Re: [PEN-TEST] Port 139 Open on AS400 a Security Issue?

[Rob Hughes <rdhughes () HOME COM>]

It depends. What's running on port 139? Do you have one of the PC add-in
host boards (I forget what they're called, but they let you run NT on an
AS400) in the machine? If you found this port open via a port scan, did the
port actually respond? Or does it just show open?

Are there any problems with having port 139 open on an AS400?  Everyone
knows why it's bad on M$, but I'm not sure what the security issues are on
the AS400.
