When you got your box behind a router and you need an open port,
of course we try to stop a service and replace it with the xplted service and if that doesn't work trying port forwarding may work.. but if these 2 options do not work,

I've noticed on 50% of box's that if you try to open your xplt on port 22

( 22/tcp SSH (Secure Shell) - used for secure logins, file transfers (scp, sftp) and port forwarding )

you will get a usable connection to that box.

This may be common knowledge, I'm not sure.. either way it's helped me greatly when all else fails to try this.

You'd just have to port scan the IP....this is a stupid post if you ask me....

Maybe I didnt make my self clear,

I had a box that would nopt allow me to setup my xploit on any ports, box is behinde router. only SQL was available for incomming conections.

I tried to stop some services that were also running on ports i found after scanning the ip as you said.

This did not work, no dice.

I then tried port fowarding with no luck..

so then I tried to setup my xplt on port 22 and boom.. all is working well.

This Ive tested on a number of boxes with as I've said 50% success.. even tho no other ports could be opened to out side access and ports that were already in use that I tried to stop services on and replace with mine would just move to another port and not really stop at all making my service on that same port null..but .. for some reason port 22 allows me to do what I need to 50% of the time no matter of firewall router config.

Makes no sense. If a port scan shows the ports open and not filtered you should be able to use that port if the service that is currently using that port is stoped. If you try to bind something to a port in use you usally get a error. Now with what you are saying means there are many lazy a$$ firewall admins out there leaving port 22 open for what seems no reason since you can bind to it.

There been alot of nonsense posts lately if you ask me.

i think the only way to open such a port
would be:

code a proggi that checks what router is involked

then get the pass for the router [brute force,passview (www.nirsoft.net) sniffing or just simple try the standartpass e.g admin:password 4 netgaer ]

learn a bit about what protokoll the router use (mostly http)

then best use : own made tool that connect from the box to the router(http protokol) and opens a new port or update the firmwarepackage (with own config)

should be the only way i think
