RE: All tcp ports open?

Hello Ben, it makes absolutely no sense that there is a service listening on
every TCP port at all. Are you sure? Could you perhaps paste the hping o/p
here? Lastly if the handshake are not completed the connection may not be
handed to the internal network if there is a f/w in front of it, which
validates the handshake. More info as to what you are trying to get past O/S
wise as well as network topology would be most helpful.

Cheers,

Don
