🛡️ Security Considerations

• Scan port 497 with nmap -sV to identify the exact service and version
• If Retrospect is not needed, close or firewall this port immediately
• Check for default credentials if a management interface runs on this port
• Use searchsploit retrospect to find known exploits
• Monitor traffic on port 497 with Wireshark or tcpdump for anomalies
• Ensure the service is patched to the latest version to prevent known CVE exploitation
