I recently purchased an IP camera and nmap reveals the usual open ports you might expect. There is however one open port that is way above 1024 and additional scans for services reveals nothing about it except that is open. If I use telnet from the command line, I can establish a connection with the port but that is as far as I can go. It is completely unresponsive to any keyboard entries. Any ideas of what else I can do to find out the purpose of this port using Linux?
I know this falls under inice to knowi rather than ineed to knowi. However, investigations have found that the camera without instruction is trying to make numerous connections to off site IP addresses and is also generating what appear to be a lot P2P broadcast packets. That makes me wonder what else it might be capable of doing of doing without instruction using an undocumented port if it is allowed access to the Internet.
