Network ports

Assessing the network infrastructure for the identification of critical vulnerabilities has always been a challenging and time consuming process. Thus, we have fine-tuned a small list of known network ports with their respective services in order to help penetration testers quickly map through potential vulnerable services (TCP/UDP ports 1-65,535) using BackTrack tools. To get a complete and more up-to-date list of all network ports, please visit http://www.iana.org/assignments/port-numbers. However, you should also bear in mind that sometimes the applications and services are configured to run on different ports than the default ones.
