CBT Nuggets | How to Check Which Services are Running on a Network using Port Discovery @cbtnuggets | Uploaded 1 year ago | Updated June 07 2023
Port discovery is an essential method used to check which services are running on a network. It involves scanning different ports on the network to determine which ones are open and which ones are closed, thereby identifying the active services that can be accessed by users.
CBT Nuggets trainer Keith Barker covers the three basic benefits behind port discovery. Port discovery is crucial for network security, as it helps identify potential vulnerabilities that can be exploited by malicious actors. By detecting open ports, network administrators can ensure that only authorized services are running, and any unauthorized or suspicious activity can be immediately flagged and investigated.
Port discovery is also helpful in detecting rogue services that may have been installed without proper authorization, as well as identifying outdated or unsupported software that can pose a security risk. Regular port scans can keep network systems up-to-date and ensure that any security gaps are addressed promptly.
