Devalaous Posted April 28, 2010 Any truth to this? In a random discussion about Doom and Wolfenstein today, this popped up: .\\Josh - Somewhere Between Happy And A Total Fucking Wreck says (9:24 AM): haha btw every windows pc and I mean every has port 666 reserved for doom Devalaous says (9:24 AM): ** Devalaous says (9:25 AM): Really? .\\Josh - Somewhere Between Happy And A Total Fucking Wreck says (9:25 AM): yeah let me get the file location I know where it is on xp have to check for vista .\\Josh - Somewhere Between Happy And A Total Fucking Wreck says (9:27 AM): yeah same location C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc open the file called services in notepad .\\Josh - Somewhere Between Happy And A Total Fucking Wreck says (9:28 AM): scroll down to 666 =] ______ I dont have this file, but if true, this is awesome. 0 Share this post Link to post

Gez Posted April 28, 2010 Id coded Doom to make use of port 666 for TCP/UDP. So it's been added to the list of known ports in use.

hobomaster22 Posted April 28, 2010 I actually didn't know that. I guess if any video game is going to have a recognized port number, Doom would be it. I know most source ports default to 10666 but I've never used the original for internet play. 0 Share this post Link to post

Gez Posted April 29, 2010 Doom 95? Maybe. Or maybe it was one of those DMBLAH.EXE programs that cluttered the Doom directory. All I remember is reading about port 666 being used for network play in text files long ago back when I didn't really care because I had no Internet at home anyway, and Doom was still new at the time. It's the same clever wit as doom.exe v1.666. 0 Share this post Link to post
fraggle Posted April 29, 2010 exp(x) said:Since when did doom.exe use tcp or udp? I'm pretty sure the Unix versions use UDP. Doom also appears in the Novell well-known IPX ports list - 0x869c, as used by IPXSETUP.EXE. 0 Share this post Link to post

myk Posted May 2, 2010 LogicDeLuxe said: Wasn't it Microsoft by any chance? This would explain why it's on their list. According to IPXSETUP.C:int socketid = 0x869c; // 0x869c is the official DOOM socketSo yeah, it looks like 666 is not the default IPX port for the DOS engine. It does look for an interrupt vector of x60 to x66, which might be 666-inspired, though. 0 Share this post Link to post
CODOR Posted May 2, 2010 myk said: It does look for an interrupt vector of x60 to x66, which might be 666-inspired, though.According to the x86 Interrupt List that's the range "reserved for user interrupts". But the DOS-based PC/TCP packet driver spec allows for the interrupt to be anywhere from 0x60 to 0x80 (one can tell which to use by a particular string just after the address pointed to by the interrupt), so it's hard to say whether ending at 0x66 was an intentional choice or simply following the specs... 0 Share this post Link to post
Aliotroph? Posted May 2, 2010 Reserved seems like too strong a word. It's not as though that list stops anybody from using that port for whatever they might want. It's just there as a caution. The whole scheme makes much more sense when you consider apps that never disappear and always use the same protocols, like FTP, SSH, SMTP, etc. 0 Share this post Link to post
