Re: Nebula Secure Segment Transfer Protocol

Use something like TCPView free from SysInternals to see what
process/application is using that port. Even if it is open the firewall
should be blocking access to it from the internet unless the firewall has
been configured to allow access to internet users which can be done by
malware. If it is an unauthorized process/application then it should be
removed which may take malware and spyware scans also in Safe Mode being
sure to update the definitions of any program used for such. If he is using
cable/DSL he should also be using an "internet router" or firewall device as
they would be the first line of defense and not be subject to malware
manipulation to allow inbound access. Internet routers are dirt cheap at
Best Buy, Amazon, Newegg, Walmart, etc from the likes of Linksys, D-Link,
Netgear, etc these days. Even real firewalls like last generation Netscreen
[I use Netscreen 5XP] and Sonicwall are very affordable when bought on Ebay
and have capabilities of advanced logging and controlling outbound access
with a default block all rule. --- Steve

Hi, I have been asked by a friend why port 1036 is open. He is using
ZoneAlarm firewall. When running a port scan (using www.grc.com), the
port
is open. He was able to close it, but the port is not in stealth mode. I
have done a search on NSSTP and haven't come up with any resolutions.
This
port should be in a stealth mode and not opened or closed. Any ideas?
It's
a shot in the dark until I look at it myself. Thanks. Dr. P.
