TPKT Server Detection

info Nessus Network Monitor Plugin ID 7156

Synopsis

The TPKT protocol has been detected.

Description

ISO Transport Service on top of TCP (TPKT) is defined in RFCs 1006 and 2126. Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) protocols as defined by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) can be encapsulated in TCP using TPKT. TPKT emulates the OSI protocol Transport Service Access Point (TSAP).

TCP port 102 is reserved for hosts which implement TPKT; however, it is not required that port 102 be used for all connections. One example of a protocol that uses TPKT but does not use port 102 is Microsoft's Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) which uses TCP port 3389.
