Time Required: $30$ minutes

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 a 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 $993.$
