Anydesk 7070



When visiting the eBay.com site, a script will run that performs a local port scan of your computer to detect remote support and remote access applications.

To connect to the AnyDesk network port 80, 443 or 6568 is used. For standard listening port direct line connection is 7070 (TCP). AnyDesk is slow despite LAN connection AnyDesk might not recognize a direct connection and the session will be established via AnyDesk network. AnyDesk is a Remote Access tool developed by AnyDesk Software GmbH. It uses the DeskRT video codec which is specifically designed for graphical user interfaces, making it. I have installed anydesk and i would like to block connections from internet and allow the connections from the local network. Allow connections to and from port 7070, it appears to connect to the remote server on 7070 and then the remote server connects back to the client on 7070. AnyDesk is the world's most comfortable remote desktop application. Access all your programs, documents and files from anywher. This protocol is shared by another user. Related to a slow connection over LAN: 'AnyDesk might not recognize a direct connection and the session will be established via AnyDesk network. Direct connections display a play symbol in the status bar.' It sounds like the service first tries connecting over port 7070 and if the software has issues, it falls back to another connection method.

Many of these ports are related to remote access/remote support tools such as the Windows Remote Desktop, VNC, TeamViewer, Ammy Admin, and more.

After learning about this, BleepingComputer conducted a test and can confirm that eBay.com is indeed performing a local port scan of 14 different ports when visiting the site.

This scan is being conducted by a check.js script [archived] on eBay.com that attempts to connect to the following ports:

The fourteen different ports that are scanned and their associated programs and eBay reference string is listed below.

BleepingComputer has not been able to identify the targeted program on port 63333. If you recognize it, please let us know.

The script performs these scans using WebSockets to connect to 127.0.0.1, which is the local computer, on the specified port.

According to Nullsweep, who first reported on the port scans, they do not occur when browsing the site with Linux.

Once they tested in Windows, though, the port scans occurred.

This makes sense as the programs being scanned for are all Windows remote access tools.

Likely done to detect hacked computers

We first heard about eBay's port scanning script from Jack Rhysider of DarkNetDiaries, and it was theorized that it was being done for ad delivery, fingerprinting, or fraud protection.

As the port scan is only looking for Windows remote access programs, it is most likely being done to check for compromised computers used to make fraudulent eBay purchases.

In 2016, reports were flooding in that people's computers were being taken over through TeamViewer and used to make fraudulent purchases on eBay.

As many eBay users use cookies to automatically login to the site, the attackers were able to remote control the computer and access eBay to make purchases.

It got so bad that one person created a spreadsheet to keep track of all the reported attacks. As you can see, many of them reference eBay.

The script being used for fraud detection is further confirmed by Dan Nemec's great write-up, where he traced it to a fraud detection product owned by LexisNexis called ThreatMetrix.

As part of ThreatMetrix's description, they discuss how they detect and protect sites from Remote Access Trojans (RATs).

'Malware protectionhelps businesses mitigate the risk by being protected from Man-In-The-Browser (MITB), Remote Access Trojan (RAT), high velocity/frequency bot attacks to low-and- slow attacks mimicking legitimate customer behavior, ransomware, key logging attempts, etc,' ThreatMetrix's product page explains.

While the scanned for programs are all legitimate, some of them have been used as RATs in phishing campaigns.

Regardless of the reasons, port scans like this are still intrusive and not something that many users would want to happen when visiting a site.

When we reached out to eBay for statement we were told:

'Our customers’ privacy and data remains a top priority. We are committed to creating an experience on our sites and services that is safe, secure, and trustworthy.'

Update 5/25/20 12:28 PM EST: Updated article with further info from Dan Nemec's blog post about the port scans.
