Lyrics

  1. 20 and 21 — FTP in play,
  2. One’s for control, one sends it away.
  3. 22? SSH, real sleek,
  4. Encrypt that terminal, no plain-text leak!
  5. 23 — Telnet? Nope, that’s a trap,
  6. It’s unsecure — just toss that crap.
  7. 24’s skipped, 25 is mail,
  8. SMTP’s got the outbound trail.
  9. 80 — HTTP, wide open lane,
  10. But 443’s where it gets insane.
  11. That’s HTTPS, encrypted and tight,
  12. Secure web browsing day or night.
  13. Know your ports, don’t guess, don’t freeze —
  14. Security pros count in TCPs!
  15. From 20 to 443,
  16. Lock it down with port ID! ?
  17. 110 — POP3’s your basic mail,
  18. Pulls from the server, kinda frail.
  19. IMAP4 on 143,
  20. Keeps mail on the server, syncs with glee.
  21. 3389 — that’s RDP,
  22. Remote into Windows like a VIP.
  23. 1433? That’s MS SQL,
  24. Database work from your favorite shell.
  25. 53 — DNS, name that site,
  26. UDP or TCP, both are right.
  27. 137 to 139 — NetBIOS zone,
  28. Windows shares — best left alone.
  29. 161 and 162 — SNMP,
  30. Manage those nodes, report to me.
  31. 69 — TFTP,
  32. Light and simple, but risky, see?
  33. Know your ports, don’t guess, don’t freeze —
  34. Security pros count in TCPs!
  35. From 20 to 443,
  36. Lock it down with port ID! ?
  37. TCP, UDP — know which ones apply,
  38. Know what’s clear, what’s gonna fry.
  39. Port knowledge ain’t just for nerds —
  40. It’s the stuff that secures the world in words.
  41. Study smart. Port hard. Encrypt everything.
