Report ID4

Host Address(es):X.X.X.X
1. Open Ports - X.X.X.X
Port   Protocol   Probable Service  
135  TCP loc-srv
Defined as a "Location Service" in RFC1060, pre-SP3 versions of Windows NT were susceptible to a denial of service attack on this port that would cause NT's rpcss.exe process to consume all available CPU cycles. The (easiest) recovery from this attack is to reboot your machine.

You should do one of several things: a) upgrade/patch your operating system to make sure it is not susceptible to this attack; b) firewall your system so that port 135 is not visible from the internet c) configure your router to block port 135; d) Install one of several monitoring packages on your PC that block this denial of service.

 
139  TCP netbios-ssn
Port 139 is used on Windows machines for NetBios name resolution, WINS, etc. A problem with older unpatched versions of Windows is that they are susceptible to receipt of Out-Of-Band (OOB) data. This means that someone can remotely send you OOB data on port 139 and can cause numerous problems on your machine, including but not limited to machine lockups, blue screens, loss of internet connection.

You should do one of several things: a) upgrade/patch your operating system to make sure it is not susceptible to this attack; b) firewall your system so that port 139 is not visible from the internet c) configure your router to block port 139; d) Install one of several monitoring packages on your PC that block this denial of service.

Number of open ports found by port scan:2
