Any ports above 1023, I believe, are "unprivileged." Quite often people set Apache to work over port 8080; almost no one blocks ports that high. You could also use nmap to scan ports. But nmap is only going to scan privileged ports to see which ones are open; it's not going to tell you that ports 8080 and above are open, because they always are. -- Stephen R.
