Thank you all!

I haven't read all the RFCs yet, but I've been planning to try to pierce
my firewall by sending packets to the wrong protocol.

An example of my current understanding:

80 uses both so it won't be vulnerable
53 ignores TCP so it won't be vulnerable
510 is usually inside the network so it won't be vulnerable from the
Internet.

Off the top of my head, I can't think of anything that uses the right
combination.

Maybe I need to do a little more thinking.
Maybe I'm working on a problem that has already been considered and is
not vulnerable.
Maybe I'm just a ... (enter whatever you think is appropriate).
