IMHO it is a service. RPC means RemoteProcedureCall and offers a remote Client to execute procedures/functions on the machine offering this service. Which procedures/functions and what a request to a rpc-service looks like has to be defined in a protocoll. So: protocoll says "how to use the service" and rpc is the service. In case of 137/139 under ms-windows it is netbios-ssn which offers shares/ressources over network! Please correct me or add-on whatever i forgot... regards, markus muessig On Sun, 2003-11-23 at 19:45, Mr Babak Memari wrote:
What is The RPC exactly ? The RPC is a Protocol or a winXP-win2000-Service or a Port? www.Rabertgraham.com says that it is a Protocol . My windows says it is a Service . Some other articles says that it is a Port . And another questions : www.Rabertgraham.com in its FireWall-FAQ says these lines: [""Various errors with 127.0.0.1 : Some servers are misconfigured to map this address. On the other hand, it is also a hacker technique to cause names within the hacker domain to resolve to addresses within a company (including localhost/127.0.0.1).""] And my question is : How do they (Crackers) do that ? ----- Babak from IRAN www.voidspace.org.uk/babak2 www.voidspace.org.uk/babak --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
