Information about tcp Port 998
A Software Port (usually just called a 'port') is a virtual data connection that can be used by programs to exchange data directly, instead of going through a file or other temporary storage location. The most common of these are TCP and UDP ports which are used to exchange data between computers on the Internet. Port 998 uses the tcp protocol for service type busboy. A malformed request to port 998 is known to cause denial of service attacks.
In the TCP and UDP protocols used in computer networking, a port is a special number present in the header of a data packet. Ports are typically used to map data to a particular process running on a computer. Port numbers can occasionally be seen in the URLs of websites. By default, HTTP uses port 80 and HTTPS uses port 443, but a URL like http://www.MyCompany.com:8000/ would try to connect to an HTTP server on port 8000 instead. Port 998 is used for the busboy service. An example would be http://www.MyCompany.com:998/ when accessed by a web service. Port 998 may be used for several services including busboy-- and more. Port 998 is known to have vulnerabilities caused by trojans and remote code execution.
