Inbound:
Hobbit only uses one port: 1984.
For viewing the Hobbit webpages, your webserver needs a port.

Outbound:
Hobbit only uses the ports that you configure for network tests. E.g. 
if you check an SMTP server, Hobbit will make an outbound connection 
to port 25.
Note that Hobbit will perform ping tests by default, so it will generate
outbound ICMP type 8 packets.
