I'm a little confused on my results. I'm getting an actual website with data on it, not a 404. However, in one of the data boxes on the site, I get "HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found". Specifically, on the right side of the screen there are two boxes. The top one is titled "Open Ports", and lists a single port in it, 7547. But the box below that is titled "// 7547 / TCP /". In that box is the text "HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found". So..., am I leaking port 7547, or not? (Fwiw, http://portscan.me/ http://portscan.me/ doesn't find any leaked ports, and sees my host IP as offline).

Certain ISP-supplied routers listen on port 7547. It's used by your ISP to access your router remotely to perform software upgrades and the like. Of course, that's just what they claim. Your level of paranoia that it will get hacked and trust in your ISP to not use it to spy on you or override your own configuration is up to you.

  My ISP was "nice" enough to supply a router that could be flashed with DD-WRT (it's fiber (to the home) so it's just a box on the wall straight into the router, so whats actually running on the router is under my control).

The same here. Without looking at Google I guess this is the open port for ISP tech support?

If you don't get an entirely white page with just 404 Not Found The resource could not be found. then you are leaking information remotely (or were the last time they scanned your IP address). It sounds like that port was accessible at one point.

The service running on that port is for remote management by your ISP [0]. Just like damn near everything else nowadays, it uses HTTP and the 404 status is being returned by the web server running on that port. --- [0]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TR-069 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TR-069

Me too. Its a Frontier supplied router, but I'm not seeing the 404 error. Clicking on that box doesn't reveal anything.
