chrizree Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Well, it depends on what's behind that open port Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoExecute Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 It's not the open port alone, that's not enough :) It requires something that listens / answers on that port, and that service have to be misconfigured, or exploitable for it to be used as an attack vector. But, of course it also needs to be open, for something to go through to the service, and the firewall have to allow outbound connections back :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
