Is there a resource of RELEVANT port numbers for Sec+

mboyceymboycey Member Posts: 8 ■□□□□□□□□□
Ive been reading in here that having all the port numbers in a table and memorising them helps for the exam, but there are obviously many port numbers many of which are not needed for this cert and obviously way to many to remember. So i ask this, is there a single resource ie a table, that contains the essential port numbers for this cert?

Im sure someone out there has a resource they can either copy and paste or link to.

Im only after the ones that are essential to the exam.

Cheers

    mboycey,

    The ports I studied when passing the Sec+ cert are listed below. It may seem like a lot at first, but if you read them aloud every AM and memorize them in groups, you should be OK. This is definitely not a comprehensive list as you know, but as mentioned earlier, they helped me pass.

    I feel they will allow you to either quickly answer a port-related question or really help you eliminate some answers.

    Good Luck!

    looks like a good list.....Just know all the common ports and you will be fine. As you start doing this more, you will not be able to forget the port numbers......Ip addresses......old phone numbers.....old gym locker combo.....haha...please make the numbers go away! icon_wink.gif

    Actually...do the port number quiz on this site and you should be good.

    Be sure you know the following TCP ports as a minimum: 21, File Transfer Protocol (FTP) control; 20, FTP data; 22, Secure Shell (SSH); 23, Telnet; 25, Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP); 80, Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP); 110, Post Office Protocol 3 (POP3); 119, Network News Transfer Protocol (NNTP); 143, Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP4); 443, Secure Sockets Layer (SSL and HTTPS); 1812, Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS); and 3389, Microsoft Remote Desktop.


    PORTS
    1701 – L2TP
    1723 – PPTP
    162 – SNMP Trap
    88 – Kerberos
    69 – TFTP
    Authentication Header (AH) IPSec 51
    Encapsulation Security Payload (ESP) IPSec 50

    Some of those may overlap, but that was the list I used, they are pulled from various sites and I added a few.

    Actually, port 20 is FTP data, and port 21 is FTP control... In contrast to the above post by nachius. But anyway...

    I put together a short comrehensive list of commonly used TCP/IP ports when working on some networking tasks. It's not meant to be an all inclusive list of course, as there are over 65,000 ports (though only a small percent of those 65,000 are actually regulated)... I hope this helps someone...

    Thanks, for pointing that out, I corrected it. I pasted that straight from a site I used to study, hence why you should ALWAYS use multiple sources.

    I'll have to track that site down and let them know. I was unable to paste the "chart" I actually used because it was a pic on the site I pulled it from.
  • OpenSourceOpenSource Member Posts: 135
    Yeah, not a problem. I also double checked multiple sources before posting that list, so unless they are all wrong it should be pretty well accurate. Like you mentioned though, ALWAYS use/consult multiple sources if you want reliable information.

    EDIT: I should also mention, some of the ports above are also UDP as well as being TCP/IP. I will post the specifics when I have enough time.

    Thanks OpenSource for the ports list. I will use this list you made as a reference. BTW, Here is another link to a good spot for Ports.
