initially I wanted to know why port 80 is shown open on my machine and i gave the lsof output to show that no service was listening to port 80 on my machine. The nmap output of the ip - that is my public ip at the moment ( got that by visiting whatismyip.com) shows port 80 as open when it should be blocked according to my iptables configuration. Basically i was afraid some rootkit/malware was running web server on my machine by making it invisible !
So your machine is 172.16.37.164, which you have to configure and tell your ISP because they NAT externally from 115.187.45.97 to many internal 172.16.37.* users?
Therefore more than one person could have an external address of 115.187.45.97 mapping back to their 172.16.37.* IP?
Even though only one person could have 115.187.45.97:80 mapped back to them?
