Is Gibson's ports & protocols table enough?
Hope I'm not asking anyone to violate the NDA here, but Darril Gibson is pretty explicit about saying his table can be used "as a single source" to memorize all the ports and protocols (p. 150, GCGA SY0-401). I've recently come across a few other sources--even a practice exam--that name ports outside that table. I suspect…
