Hi,

Did you try using amap ( it identifies applications and services even if they are not listening on the default port)

A good tool available at:

Objet : Strange service on Port 5656


Dear PenTesters,

while conducting one of those tests this list was made
for, I stumbled over a TCP Service on Port 5656. If I
netcat on this port the following "banner" is displayed:
",!-

When I enter something at this prompt the
connection is closed immediately. Nessus detects this
service as time server, can anyone confirm/ deny that?
If this is no time server did someone see this banner
before? The host in question is a SuSE Linux System and
has a vulnerable (OpenSSH 2.1.1) SSH daemon running,
so maybe this service is part of a rootkit?

Thanks in advance for any hints
BF
