"If you see any results like 192.168.0.4:3000 is available!, you should tell your colleague to secure whatever she has running on that port"

Someone's going to access this page at $BIGCORP with an overly trigger-happy IDS and get a fun morning meeting with IT to un-quarantine their machine.



Yup, excited for the meeting. Haven't seen those guys in a while.

Was expecting to learn some security techniques, instead got essentially port scanned :)


Whereas I'm learning that my network is fairly secure against this type of port scanning.


Of course, mine was too. I'm sure in part due to the diligent security team that will be stopping by my desk in the next few days!


Since I work from home I'm both the security team and the guy who inadvertently ran a port scanner in his web browser.


edit: I am a dolt. Thank you :)

I got this address as well, do you have anything running on .4?

It's just weird because I have .1 router, .2 AP, .3 pi-hole

then .10 is when I start my static IPs

and .100 is where my dhcp starts

nmap says that host is down as well


That just the example in the description, not the scan results.


I think that's just the hardcoded example in the text, considering it's still there when I viewed with no scripts enabled (and I'm on a network that doesn't have anything assigned in 192.168.0.0/16).


The page is using JavaScript with the JS WebRTC interface RTCPeerConnection[0]. Maybe that can help.
