What's running on port 5000?

Recommended Posts

Does anyone know what's running on port 5000 of the 2481 build? I recently discovered something running that I can't track down. It's on my machine and a friends who also is running 2481.

 

------------------------------------

 

toilet:~$ telnet winxp 5000

Trying 192.168.168.3...

Connected to winxp.machine.web.

Escape character is '^]'.

hello? anyone here?

 

HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request

 

Connection closed by foreign host.

toilet:~$

 

---------------------------------------

 

It's not a web server, even though it behaves like one. Try it, telnet to your local machine port 5000, type something and hit return 2 times.

 

I've turned off almost all services and still get it. Anyone know what's up?

Port 5000 is used for TCP/UDP. I'm not up on the web serving in XP.....

Ummm... yeah, okay, whatever that's supposed to mean. And no, it's not accepting datagram packets.

 

Anyway we found it, under services

SSPD Discovery Service

 

This port is regarded open by the scheduler for peer to peer Plug and Play functionality as network devices.

Stop that and it's all good.
