Hi,

I decided to look at the logs of the various ways people have tried to break
into my firewall.  I know about many of the ports, and even some of the
exploits, but I'm at a loss for some of them.

At the end of this email is a list of counts and port numbers.  The
mysteries to me include:
	Ports 61K and up
	Port 1243
	Port 6970
	Port 27374.

Does anyone know what these particular ports/exploits are about?

Also, what is microsoft-ds on port 445?
