Course overview

Nmap online course

Service detection

Ask Nmap what is listening, then verify it yourself.

nmap -sV -p 22,80 172.16.10.10

-sV talks to the service and guesses a product and version. Treat that as a hint. Banners lie, and proxies change what you see. Confirm with a real client when the answer matters.
