I have read in several post and other parts of the web that ports 137 and 139 are dangerous if they are listening. I did
and found this:
Why are these ports dangerous? What virus, backdoor, etc uses them? Is there a way to close them without getting a firewall? Can I close the port with Winsock in VB?
Thanks,
Philippe
Code:
netstat -an
Code:
TCP myip:137 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING
TCP myip:138 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING
TCP myip:139 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING
Thanks,
Philippe
