Frequently Asked Questions
A port scan is a technique used to check which ports on a network are open, closed, or filtered.
Ports may be filtered by firewalls or other security measures to prevent unauthorized access.
Common ports include 80 (HTTP), 443 (HTTPS), 22 (SSH), 21 (FTP), and 25 (SMTP).
Port scanning your own systems is legal, but scanning systems without permission may be illegal.
TCP is connection-oriented and reliable, while UDP is connectionless and faster but less reliable.
Open means the port is accepting connections, closed means it's not listening, and filtered means a firewall is blocking access.
