| Distributed COM Services? I have just recently seen this notice when running a security scan form several sites. This one below during a scan by DSL Reports.
Inbound TCP connection
Local address, service is (home,dcom)
Remote address, service is (206.65.191.129,41517)
Process name is "C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\RPCSS.EXE"
I have made a rule to block this intrusion (Distributed COM Services) but would like to know what “RPCSS.EXE”, a Microsoft file, is used for and if I should make a rule to block any inbound remote address’s or only block each one on an individual basis?
Thanks,
Zach |
