Instead of worrying about the ports these programs use (some of these
utilities will use what ever port you have open), I would reccommend
changing your security stance. I.E....I do not allow any workstations on my
network to have direct outbound access. I only allow a proxy to have
outbound access through FW1...the proxy can then filter at the application
layer.
Additionally, a security policy should be "deny all except what is required"
that way you are already denying access to various "esoteric" ports.
I know this wasn't what you asked, but believe me...it will save you alot of
heartache at a later date.

Yeah I have a whole lot of alphabet soup after my name too...so what..
certifications mean nothing. Real world knowledge mean everything.
