Port 39 & 445 listening by default?

1

I did a nmap & netstat scan of Parrot OS to see what open ports I had and noticed that the following ports are open:

nmap:

39/tcp open netbios-ssn
445/tcp open microsoft-ds

netstat -lp output:

I believe this is because Samba is running. Is there a specific reason it needs to be open? If not I’d like to shut the service down. I plan to remove it form starting using this syntax:

update-rc.d -f smbd remove
update-rc.d -f nmbd remove

If I’m wrong please let me know.

Thanks.

What version of Parrot are you running? (include version, edition, and architecture)

4.14.13 kernel in a VM

You’re right, had noticed it before but don’t know the reason as of why.
