Discovery Ports

Hi guys,

So the other day I was browsing the community and came across Ports of No Joy... and Anatomy of a Discovery... and this is where it really became confusing.

As per discovery wiki, port used for windows discovery is 135 and DCOM range but SlightlyLoony mentions port 139 and 445 as well. (Discovery Troubleshooting - Port Scanning - ServiceNow Wiki).

So, which is it? Looking at the dates on Loony's posts, I am thinking that this 'was' the case and not 'is' the case. What do you guys think.

Thanks,

Ankush Latawa
