Depends on what that service is, but if it listens with tcp, I usually
telnet to the port and it can give you a lot of information. When that
fails, look up the service associated with that port and test it out with
the appropriate tool. Other than that, there's not really a sure way to test
for it as far as I know.
Did you have a specific service in mind? If you provided the details, I'm
sure someone would know.
