RE: All tcp ports open?

I do not think this is the tool you've got in mind, but what I have done some months ago is the following:
        - download iptrap (www.jedi.claranet.fr),
        - create a script that launches if on each port between, let's say, 1-1024
        - then running an nmap or nessus or whatever more againt it, will give all the ports open.

That's maybe not the smarter solution, but without spare time... :)

I am not a honeypot's guru, but maybe a honeypot as Specter, DTK or HoneyD can do this, correct me if I am wrong...

I know there is a hardware device that does this. I cannot for the life of me remember the name but I have seen it used 
by several banks. It intentionally shows all ports open making port scanning almost useless.
I would love to know the name of the appliance if anybody knows it.

It is a proactive defense measure most likely. Hard to tell what services are up and running if all the ports return 
SYN/ACK when scanned with a SYN scan. This is talked about in "Hacking: The Art of Exploitation" by Jon Erickson. Very 
good book. All of this was pointed out by another fellow member eariler.

Hello Ben, it makes absolutely no sense that there is a service listening on every TCP port at all. Are you sure? Could 
you perhaps paste the hping o/p here? Lastly if the handshake are not completed the connection may not be handed to the 
internal network if there is a f/w in front of it, which validates the handshake. More info as to what you are trying 
to get past O/S wise as well as network topology would be most helpful.

Cheers,

Don

I am not sure what is doing this, but I assume it is a software (or 
some kind of) firewall/hids, can anybody point me in the right
direction?

I am pen-testing a Windows webserver, and a port scan reveals ALL tcp 
ports open. hping also confirms that a SA is returned for any S packets

sent to any port I try. I can connect via netcat any of the ports, and 
send data, but nothing is returned. In order to verify services, I am 
required to connect and check for a banner or send appropriate protocol

commands to elicit a response.

Has anyone seen this, or have any idea of what this is?

Thanks.
