Ports & Protocols

SMB isn't port 443.. Port 443 is for HTTPS. So what is the correct port for TCP and UDP for SMB ?

Hey @Daniel-Thomas great question, did you find and error because yes indeed port 443 is used for HTTPS and TCP Port 445 is for SMB over IP/ NBT over IP. Originally SMB ran over NetBIOS using port 139.

Hi Wes,

I was listening to you and Zack teaching in the "Ports & Protocols part2 video. I noticed you said HTTPS was port 443 and than later in the video you said SMB uses port 443. I thought to myself SMB was a different port, but I wasn't sure what the correct port was. Thanks, for setting me straight.

Hey @Daniel, thank you for the heads up as sometimes I will make an error and I want to be able to correct it. I really appreciate your feedback on this! Keep up the great work!
