In my past experiences, ports 2000, and 2001 were used by the app called
MDaemon. The web-config option opens up the port 2000. The web service,
opens up port 2001. But you never know!!!

Alright friends,
I have discovered this during my current project and I have the
following nmap data for your review:

***

Starting nmapNT V. 2.53 by ryan () eEye com
eEye Digital Security ( http://www.eEye.com )
based on nmap by fyodor () insecure org  ( www.insecure.org/nmap/ )

Host  (x.x.x.x) appears to be up ... good.
Initiating SYN half-open stealth scan against  (x.x.x.x)
Adding TCP port 23 (state open).
Adding TCP port 2001 (state open).
The SYN scan took 48 seconds to scan 2002 ports.
For OSScan assuming that port 23 is open and port 1 is closed and
neither are firewalled
For OSScan assuming that port 23 is open and port 1 is closed and
neither are firewalled

Interesting ports on  (x.x.x.x):
(The 1997 ports scanned but not shown below are in state: closed)
Port       State       Service
23/tcp     open        telnet

2001/tcp   open        unknown

Nmap run completed -- 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 70 seconds

I have identified port 2001 to be a common Trojan port so this has me
concerned and interested.  Is there a way to take advantage of TrojanCow
installed by someone else?  I have no experience with this particular
trojan, so any input would be much appreciated.

Also, are there any other known uses for this port?  Because TrojanCow
is a stupid little Windows manipulator so perhaps this is something
else.
