    I ran a port scan on my machine and found the following ports open.

    Open Port: 20221
    Open Port: 20222
    When I did a search for the ports on well known ports lists I found that 20222 is associated with iPulse-ICS.

    iPulse is something that monitors system processes such as Monitor numerous internal OS X statistics, Reports on system loads over time etc.
    I have never installed this and the fact that 20221 is showing as open as well causes me to wonder if there are other things going on under the hood that I should be concerned about.

    When I opened process viewer all the normal processes are running but for a brief moment a process without a name and I believe a pound sign (#) in the name column popped up for a few seconds. Under the user heading were question marks ???.

    Has anyone seen something like this?

    Joel,

    I ran the command but I am not seeing the ports listed.

    1.) Should I be looking for hex?
    2.) Should I be running the command as root?

    I would paste the output I received from the terminal but I am thinking that might not be a good idea. Just being careful.
