TCP/IP Secure & Insecure Ports

[x32x01]

TCP/IP Secure & Insecure Ports refer to the network ports used for communication over TCP/IP. Secure ports are typically used for encrypted communication, such as:

• Port 443 (HTTPS) for secure web traffic.
• Port 22 (SSH) for secure remote access.

Insecure ports are commonly targeted by attackers due to the lack of encryption or security measures, such as:

• Port 80 (HTTP) for unencrypted web traffic.
• Port 21 (FTP) for file transfer without encryption.

Understanding secure and insecure ports is crucial for network security, as securing vulnerable ports helps prevent unauthorized access and attacks.
