The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

NMAP shows ports that I know nothing about in the "filtered" state

Asked by psueoc in OpenBSD, Unix Operating Systems, BSD Unix

Tags: OpenBSD, Packet Filtering, 3.9

I noticed yesterday that when I run an NMAP against the external interface of my OpenBSD firewall it shows ports in the "filtered" state, that I know nothing about.  In the past it would only show the ports that I purposely opened in the PF.CONF file.  I don't know what changed, that's making me now see these "filtered" ports.  Below is output from NMAP.

Starting Nmap 4.10 ( http://www.insecure.org/nmap ) at 2008-02-28 08:18 Eastern Standard Time
Interesting ports on email.eoc.psu.edu (128.118.20.198):
Not shown: 1661 closed ports
PORT      STATE    SERVICE
21/tcp    open     ftp
22/tcp    open     ssh
25/tcp    open     smtp
80/tcp    open     http
554/tcp   filtered rtsp
1025/tcp  open     NFS-or-IIS
1720/tcp  filtered H.323/Q.931
2000/tcp  filtered callbook
3389/tcp  open     ms-term-serv
5060/tcp  filtered sip
49400/tcp filtered compaqdiag
50000/tcp filtered iiimsf
50002/tcp filtered iiimsf
54320/tcp filtered bo2k
61439/tcp filtered netprowler-manager
61440/tcp filtered netprowler-manager2
61441/tcp filtered netprowler-sensor
65301/tcp filtered pcanywhere

Nmap finished: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 2.250 seconds

The ports in the OPEN state, are the ones that I opened on purpose.  The ones in the filtered state, I know nothing about.  Below is my pf.conf file
