The Network Port Scanner application identifies virtual network ports for a computer that are open to connection from another computer.
A network port such as: 80 (http),
443 (https), or 21 (ftp) are common ports.
There are many reasons a network port would be open on a computer to allow access to an application or service.
However, there are other times that having a
port open for when not necessary provides an opportunity
for a bad actor to be able to connect to a computer. |
