My search turned up that port 29990 is a very common game server port,
RTCW, and Threewave.

Port 51417 I found nothing useful on.

Hope this helps.

Subject: ports 29990 and 51417 scans

Checking my snort logs this morning, I found several nmap TCP scans to
port
29990 from about 6 different IP addresses. I also noticed that last
week we
were scanned from these same addresses on port 51417. Has anyone else
seen
this type of activity? I tried to find out some info on these ports but
turned up nothing. I suppose these could be just compromised machines
doing
random scans for these ports? Does anyone know what could be using
these
ports? Thanks.
