I have quite a few ports open on my webserver (22, 8080, 80, 443, 444, 81), but the thing is I use them regularly for SSH, serving a website, etc. Is it bad that they are getting picked up by this service?
- deathgrips 6y agoIt's only bad if the services running on those ports are not secured.
- userbinator 6y agoIf you know that they're open, that's different from thinking you don't have any open ports when you do, which is probably what this is supposed to tell you about.
- jlgaddis 6y ago> Is it bad that they are getting picked up by this service? Only if you are relying on no one knowing they're open as a "security feature" (a.k.a. "security by obscurity"). If you aren't worried about anyone "finding" them because you've taken the time to secure the services then there's absolutely no reason at all to care that this exists.
