Port Knocking

Leads that wound up being lost causes, having nothing to do with the ARG. Also, for threads discussing what turned out to be hoaxes.

Port Knocking

Unread post by FrenzyTheKillbot »

alright, i was bored and I read someone's post about "knocking" on the servers to unlock them. So I randomly googled "server knock" and got some stuff on PortKnocking. So I looked that up in wikipedia, and it sounds interesting. The idea is you knock on a specific number of ports in order (like a code) to gain access to a firewalled (or locked) server. Unfortunately I don't think we possess a specific server address or a code in which to knock, but if any of you guys are very inclined to this kind of thing, do some research into it.

that's actually an interesting idea, there has to be some significance to the number of posts in each thread

Maybe we can't knock on the ports in order, but what about just clicking on the servers?

Well not just clicking of course, but in order x number of times.

Eh, surely I couldn't have been the first to think of that. But maybe it'll work that way once the 21st rolls around.

I am currently running a port scan on 206.16.223.65 to see if it has any special ports open. The scan will be done in about 15 minutes. If you have any specific ports in mind, like some magic numbers you might have noticed that may be a clue post them here and I'll try them.

You can try hitting ports from firefox (i.e. http://206.16.223.65:100, http://206.16.223.65:503, etc), which will effectively send an HTTP GET request to those ports. I hit them in the same sequence as you indicated and got nothing.
The full scan is taking longer than I anticipated and is now about 70% done. About 20 more minutes.
