Maybe so. But do I _want_ do run that software? No.
Anyway, I am not sure which programs that would be. The applications
with open sockets on my laptop are currently:
cupsd
dhclient
emacs
gpsd
gvfsd-http
inetd
mysqld
named
netserver
ntpd
rpcbind
rpc.statd
(squid)
ssh
sshd
This is of course not a complete list of all applications I need to
verify. I should add a number of client applications not currently
running, and inetd may fire up proftpd and atftpd when necessary.
But FWIW the only suspicious application I can see on that initial list
is gvfsd-http. I don't know anything about the programmers behind that.
I am pretty sure the people behind the rest of the software are capable
of setting up a test network.
