When Bitcoin Core automatically opens outgoing P2P connections, it chooses
|
|
a peer (address and port) from its list of potential peers. This list is
|
|
populated with unchecked data gossiped over the P2P network by other peers.
|
|
|
|
A malicious actor may gossip an address:port where no Bitcoin node is listening,
|
|
or one where a service is listening that is not related to the Bitcoin network.
|
|
As a result, this service may occasionally get connection attempts from Bitcoin
|
|
nodes.
|
|
|
|
"Bad" ports are ones used by services which are usually not open to the public
|
|
and usually require authentication. A connection attempt (by Bitcoin Core,
|
|
trying to connect because it thinks there is a Bitcoin node on that
|
|
address:port) to such service may be considered a malicious action by an
|
|
ultra-paranoid administrator. An example for such a port is 22 (ssh). On the
|
|
other hand, connection attempts to public services that usually do not require
|
|
authentication are unlikely to be considered a malicious action,
|
|
e.g. port 80 (http).
|
|
|
|
Below is a list of "bad" ports which Bitcoin Core avoids when choosing a peer to
|
|
connect to. If a node is listening on such a port, it will likely receive fewer
|
|
incoming connections.
