🛡️ Security Considerations

  • Scan port 135 with nmap -sV to identify the exact service and version
  • If MSRPC is not needed, close or firewall this port immediately
  • Check for default credentials if a management interface runs on this port
  • Use searchsploit msrpc to find known exploits
  • Monitor traffic on port 135 with Wireshark or tcpdump for anomalies
  • Ensure the service is patched to the latest version to prevent known CVE exploitation
