When Bitcoin Core automatically opens outgoing P2P connections, it chooses
a peer (address and port) from its list of potential peers. This list is
populated with unchecked data gossiped over the P2P network by other peers.
A malicious actor may gossip an address:port where no Bitcoin node is listening,
or one where a service is listening that is not related to the Bitcoin network.
As a result, this service may occasionally get connection attempts from Bitcoin
nodes.
"Bad" ports are ones used by services which are usually not open to the public
and usually require authentication. A connection attempt (by Bitcoin Core,
trying to connect because it thinks there is a Bitcoin node on that
address:port) to such service may be considered a malicious action by an
ultra-paranoid administrator. An example for such a port is 22 (ssh). On the
other hand, connection attempts to public services that usually do not require
authentication are unlikely to be considered a malicious action,
e.g. port 80 (http).
Below is a list of "bad" ports which Bitcoin Core avoids when choosing a peer to
connect to. If a node is listening on such a port, it will likely receive fewer
incoming connections.
