Hello, when conducting Nmap scan on Iphone hotspot. Scan is showing port 21 open, also port 53 and 49152. However when I run netstat scan, nothing is showing as listening on this port. On advanced port scanner it shows ftp service. and Also when trying to contect to Ftp server on command it appears to open, I receive a blank screen.

    Those are ports that are open on your iPhone.

    On my pc, ipconfig.exe shows my IPv4 address and the address of the router.

    Wireless LAN adapter Wi-Fi:
       Connection-specific DNS Suffix  . : mynetworksettings.com
       IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.4
       Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
       Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.1
    

    A scan of my router shows open ports and detects that it is Linux based. I see that port 80/443 is open for its web interface.

    Netstat displays information about my laptop because that's where it is running. It doesn't scan a network address.

    The -o switch shows the owning process id which can then be queried with Powershell's get-process cmdlet.

    FTP must be open on your iPhone. From a command prompt see if you can log in anonymously.
