Port 1310
- Thread starter brockhill
- Start date
I found a couple of "possibles" in my research, but nothing that absolutely ties port 1310 to them.
The first, and more promising of the two, is a company called Husky in Canada who created a protocol called SmartLink that is used to attach injection molded plastic factory hardware to a centralized server called a Husky host.
The second, and less promising software is the Husky software project at sourceforge. It looks like a way to interconnect Fidonet servers on the Internet but the documentation is so limited that it is hard to tell what their actual goal is in life.
But if you saw that port in an IDS log or a tcpdump, it is more likely the ephemeral port opened to connect to some other service. 1310 is low enough that it is accessed quite frequently by Windows boxes, which generally only use 1024 - 5000 for outbound connections. *nix boxes will generally use from 1024 - 32767 or 1024 - 65535, so there is a lot less reuse of low numbered ephemeral ports.
