Scanning open TCP ports is a common technique used to find potential vulnerabilities. With Metasploit, a powerful penetration testing framework, we can identify weaknesses by probing connected devices for accessible TCP ports.
- Fortify your firewall: Fortify your firewall by blocking incoming connections on unnecessary TCP ports.
- Slice and dice with network segmentation: use network segmentation like a ninja to isolate crucial systems - by breaking your network into smaller pieces, compromising one segment won't spell doom for the whole!
- Vulnerability assessments: periodically assess and audit vulnerabilities to discover open TCP ports - this helps fix any sneaky weaknesses before they cause problems!
- Improve authentication: boost your user authentication and close the door to unauthorized access. Even if those pesky open ports surface, only legitimate people can get in!
- Play Sherlock with Monitoring: Keep an eagle eye on your network with top-notch monitoring tools and intrusion detection systems.
