What is it, exactly, that you expect to be running and 'default open vulnerable' on a fresh Ubuntu install?
On my fresh Ubuntu deploys at Linode, the only network service listening is SSH. (Lest we forget that an open port is not a security vulnerability until a vulnerable service is listening on it, but I'll leave that assertion alone.)
EDIT: The cowardly deleted comment chided the poster for not securing his system and mentioned 'default open vulnerable' services.

- ohboyacomment 14y agoOh, your comment is specific to this DigitalOcean scenario now? Because when you left it, it was phrased as a generality for systems administration, where you "FTFY"'d (God, I hate that) the person you are replying to in order to mock him for not securing his base Linux install. As if there's a hell of a lot to do out of the box. You're probably a -P INPUT DROP kind of guy, aren't you? Path MTU discovery and ping replies be damned? The person you are replying to is not the original poster of this scenario, and the person you are replying to very likely did not trigger the exact same scenario in his dealings. I do not believe one is related to the other, but nor did you, because you were careful not to mention anything related to this scenario at all in your dim, mean-spirited reply. So you're assuming that his root password was flown over e-mail with no evidence to that effect. (A root password flown over e-mail is a vulnerability, but an external one, and has nothing to do with securing a Linux install, which was the gist of your comment.) Couldn't even finish my comment before you turned gray and deleted out. Sad. I wish you the best of luck in your cheap karma adventure.
