Doubtful Internet Service


Summary

SARA has detected a trivial or hacker-useful Internet service running on the target machine.

The problem

Many Internet useless or hacker-useful Internet services are enabled by default 'out of the box'. Services include rlogin, rsh, netstat, systat, sprayd, and walld. Wherever, these services should be disabled.

Fix

Disable all doubtful services in /etc/inetd.conf and reboot the system (Unix). Disable all doubtful services in the Control Panel/Services (Windows).
