Hi, All

I'm Using WinMX through a Router and i've got the option of opening either a
TCP port or a UDP port.

I was wondering from a security point of view which protocol is the MOST
likely to be hacked.

I realise when the port is opened either protocol is able to be hacked into,
but, in the real world which is the MOST likely to be hacked.

Thanks Ray

I suggest that most of your hacks are not based on tcp/udp but on
buffer overflow of data sent in the tcp/udp packets.

Getting the list of exploited services running on  tcp/udp gets the
most exploited protocol.  Not a meaningful, meteric.
