Does 'officially' do anything?
- tialaramex 2y agoWell, it does about as much as say, when Congress names an Aircraft Carrier, or ISO some day publishes C++ 23 (probably later this year). Concretely your Linux systems probably have a file named /etc/services which maps the string "doom" to port number 666, much as it maps "ssh" to 22 or "http" to 80.
- crtasm 2y agoNone of mine do, but now I'm going to add this.
- zeroxfe 2y agoYes, it means that you can reliably expect most UNIX/Linux systems (possibly even most OSs with IP stacks) to resolve the port "doom" to 666.
