Sorry if my question is stupid, but I'm trying to connect to myself using telnet, and i'm having some issues. I'm using a windows rat(Not an illegal one), it's an exe file that listens on port 24328 and allows people to connect using telnet.
so i tried to telnet to myself using:
telnet XX.XX.XX.XX.XX(My external IP Address)
Then i tried the same thing with my local IP address, nothing works. Then i tried to connect and tell telnet the port:
telnet XX.XX.XX.XX.XX 24328
Not working as well.
I Have no idea how to connect on that port, is it even possible on windows?
Thanks.
1It might help if you told us what error message(s) you are getting. – G-Man Says 'Reinstate Monica' – 2014-10-31T20:06:34.527
Note: Connecting to your external IP from inside the LAN (behind a NAT router) often/usually doesn't work due to the router not being good enough to provide, or being configured to enable, that feature. Have you confirmed the RAT is actually up and listening on that port (
netstat -a
)? Have you confirmed there's no firewall or AV suite blocking access to the port? To repeat what G-Man requests in his comment, what are the actual error message you get when trying to connect? – Ƭᴇcʜιᴇ007 – 2014-10-31T20:43:42.293
