How to ​perform a port scan (tcpscan/udpscan)

0 users found this article helpful

Resolution

  1. Go to System Settings > Global > Troubleshoot.
  2. Select the tcpscan or udpscan action, depending on the type of communication which needs to be verified.
  3. Specify the host (IP or name) and port.
  4. Hit [Execute] to see the output.

You'll see an "open" state if communication should be possible.

Mind that for UDP, you will also see an "open" state (e.g. port 123), but sometimes also an "open/filtered" state. Depending on the protocol, nmap may try a specific payload and actually detect whether a port is open. In other cases, it may simply not receive a response. This implies that it's unsure whether Awingu can connect to this port or not.

Common default ports when troubleshooting:

53 DNS UDP and TCP
80 http TCP
123 NTP (Network Time Protocol) UDP
389 LDAP TCP
443 https TCP
636 LDAPS TCP
1433 Microsoft SQL Server TCP
3389 RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) UDP and TCP
5432  PostgreSQL TCP
