We found an open port number 13991 on all Win98 boxes installed. The port is listening on addess 0.0.0.0 (means to all). What software does this port reserve? And what is it listening for?Use a program called Inzider to find out which process is litening (just like the Unix lsof, but worse ;) Get it here; http://ntsecurity.nu/toolbox/
This was helpful. I found out this port (and others) where used by NetFinity. While NetFinity allows taking the whole desktop of other computers (like Back Orifice does --- but never was meant to be a "hacker" tool). It might be a back door. There is only password protection for all services NetFinity provides. The connection isn't encrypted. NetFinity is IBM's tool for remote administration. OT: GkWare Setup program doesn't run on Win98. I've informed the author about the problem. Workaround: install on NT4, copy the install directory. The programm seems to run. -- Thomas
