Daemon Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 I recently did a Nmap scan of my Vista laptop from my Win XP Pro desktop (nmap -v -v -sT xx. xx. xx. xx) and it showed ports 21, 25, 110, 119, 143 open. i dont have a mail or FTP server on my laptop, nor do i use an email client or FTP program. i tried deleting those portopenings through netsh and adding a firewall rule to block those ports. i reran the same scan and it still showed them open. i dont know why those ports are open, but i would like to pass the nmap scan with no open ports. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daemon Posted November 4, 2007 Author Share Posted November 4, 2007 I ran the same nmap scan (nmap -v -v -sT xx.xx.xx.xx) from BackTrack2 and it did not show any open ports on my laptop. I believe BackTrack2 over windows, but any ideas why scanning with nmap from windows shows mail ports open? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VaKo Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 Never had a problem with nmap on windows, make sure you have the latest stable release (or beta if your using stable). Then read the errata. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
