Thank you for going over these courses, I am going to continue to work through all of the paths, because this is becoming very fun for me.

how did you know that the port is 80?

[@hackmerchant]

I knew that from before. In short it is a common port used on the web, the other one, the more secure one, is 443. But you'll learn about ports in the Pre Security path(the Packets & Frames room). Port 80 is the default port used by the HTTP protocol and port 443 is used by the HTTPS protocol which is more secure(it uses encryption). So when you visit a web site, if you see http in the url bar, in the beginning of the url of the website you are visiting, all the data that you see in your browser(text, images etc etc), it probably came through port 80. And if you see https, well...I think you know the answer ;)

I am totally addicted to get into cyber security. I’ve finished the introduction part. It’s engaging and I’m passionate about it.

[@hackmerchant]

@@Abdijaliil It sure is, keep going and remember to ask questions if you get stuck!! ;)

[@cybersecuritynb]

I wonder if we can change/add firewall rules in windows like that? And even if we could do we have to restart the firewall?

[@hackmerchant]

Yes, let’s say you want to block an IP address, you have to go to Windows Defender Firewall(then advanced settings, inbound rules, new rule etc etc)
