On this week’s Security Now, Steve and Leo sit down and talk about ports. Not ports with boats and foriegn shores, they discuss what people mean when they say “such and such operates on port 80,” or “you need to open the port on your router,” and so on. What are ports, how do they work, and why are they important? Also, what is “port sniffing,” and what does “stealth ports” mean? This, some resources to lists of well known and well used ports, and more.
