Summary

An echo Service is running at this Host. The echo service is an Internet protocol defined in RFC 862. It was originally proposed for testing and measurement of round-trip times in IP networks. While still available on most UNIX-like operating systems, testing and measurement is now performed with the Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP), using the applications ping and traceroute.

Solution

Solution

Disable the echo Service.
