Open ports

Jojo791 · February 2020

Found 2 open ports on my intranet, not sure why this is when I ran a open port check on my intranet in fing? Could this mean my system is compromised? Also found this consistent open port on my son’s iPhone. It appeared after he returned from the X wife resident. These ports are consistently open? Any information or advice anyone might suggest would

help.

Good feedback, normally the router open ports are normal for TCP interaction with devices on my wifi. But the port 80 is an accepted IOS vulnerability. In fact my son’s iPhone was recently hacked. Although Apple has not taken it for action to date as I am told by one of my class instructors. It has been reported.

All three ports are normal, 80 and 53 is coming from your router and 62078 is normal for an iPhone.

If you want to verify port 80 isn't open to the outside world you can visit ShieldsUP and do a scan.

Port 80 isn't open on the iPhone, it's open on 192.168.1.1 which is the router.

Rooted,

Not sure if that is entirely accurate in my case. Ports are opened and closed for a reason. I been hacked multiple times before and stumbled upon a port scan of my phone before I investigated other devices on my wifi. I just changed ISP and got a new iPhone for that very reason. I guess I could use Linux and close port 80 on my boy's iPhone or just wipe it and reload IOS software. But my phone number was scanned, and again scanned for open ports recently via a web user. So my research has led me to this;

So going to take action very soon to close the port 80.
