Assignment:
Case Project: Determining the Services Running on a Network
Objective: Write a memo summarizing port numbers and services run on most networks. Discuss well-known ports and describe the most commonly used ports: 25, 53, 80, 110, 143, 443, and 993.
Description: Alexander Rocco Corporation has multiple OSs running in its many branch offices. Before conducting a penetration test to determine the network's vulnerabilities, you must analyze the services currently running on the network. Leilani Kaikea, a member of your security team experienced in programming and database design but weak in networking concepts, wants to be briefed on network topology issues at Alexander Rocco Corporation.
Write memo to Leilani summarizing port numbers and services that run on most networks. The memo should discuss the concepts of well-known ports and give a brief description of the most commonly used ports: 25, 53, 80, 110, 143, 443, and 993. (A memo should be a short but informative document that includes a subject, who it's to, introduction to state the issue and body with the main content of the message.)
