IP-STB Network Services

Open Ports

There are no listening network services running on the IP-STB by default (UDP or TCP). Only outbound connections are used. This means there are no "open ports" vulnerable for attack.

However, there are a few exeptions to this rule:

Port Scanning

As stated above, there are typically no open ports on the IP-STB. However, the Linux kernel used implements ICMP error message rate limiting as specified in RFC 1812. This can confuse port scanners, and cause them to falsely state that open ports are found.
