Title: Whois: '/usr/bin/python'
Post by: fackler on Wednesday 14 April 2010, 11:01:16 pm
Running Nessus I get:

Port sunproxyadmin? (8081/tcp)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Remote listeners enumeration

The Linux process '/usr/bin/python' is listening on this port.



Could someone tell me why /usr/bin/python opened port 8081/tcp and what it is doing?  This is either a tough google or I am beating my  against the wrong keywords.
(Note: this was enumerated via a netstat scan not a true external scan)

Python is a programing language and the program running is one of the Endian proxy servers.
