And how do you protect ports >1024 from any user binding to them?

You prevent users from binding to those ports by only giving applications that need to the capability, and only letting the users that need to have execute permission to those programs.

I think you misunderstood my question.

How do you protect ports greater than 1024 from any user binding to them? E.g. port 1080.
