  • Some of these are pretty fun, some of these are a bit of a STRETCH.
    But if you remember just a few of these because of this video, I did my job.

    *** IMPORTANT NOTE: There are 65,535 ports, NOT 65,353 ports, it was just a typo that for some reason I didn't catch when I was recording the voiceover.
    I'm not sure how I didn't catch this when I was recording it, and I'm pretty mad at myself about it.
    It's a common number in PC terms, since in binary, it's 2 to the 16th power minus 1. I apologize for the confusion, and I will see if I can add an annotation in the video itself.

They give you plenty of time, so you can go back and review questions you struggled on and give them more attention :)

      You die faster without salt then water. Weve been using salt since the beginning of human history millions havd died, went blind, disfrigured, and destroyed their lungs trying to mine that in ancient history. Salt is very healthy and without it you die. So it literally prevents your cells from exploding: Die No Salt

    SNMP sounds like "snimp" which sounds like "shrimp", and 161 looks like |6| and the 6 is an upside-down cocktail shrimp in the middle of the "road"

    • @Fernandez218
      @Fernandez218 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +7

      It sounds more like "simp" and simps are attentive and submissive to women. 6 is an upside down 9 and a 9/10 woman is very attractive. Someone worthy of simping towards. Upside down 1's are still 1's so we have a 9/10 rating woman surronded by 1s which boosts her attactiveness up to a 10. Similarly SNMP (simp) sends out queries (attention and adoration) to port 161 (object of affection) for the discovery and monitoring process (clingy).

    THIS HELPS OUT ALOT! Thank you for this! Memorizing Port numbers has been torturing me , no matter how many times I study them & your examples are great! (I also had trouble trying to relate DNS to something relevant to me but couldnt either so dont worry lol)
    Also, a fun one that helped me that I thought I would share would be for Port 143:
    Typical IMAX movie screen ratios are in 1:43 .....IMAX / IMAP both utilize 143 (not sure if viewers know IMAX but those that do, hope this alternative helps as well)
    Wish everyone all the best in their endeavors! "There is no glory in practice, but without practice, there is no glory"

    This probably works better for those who live in the U.S., but for port 53 - Domain Name System, you can relate it to the presidential race.
    Dwight D. Eisenhower (D) became president in 1953 by defeating Adlai Stevenson II (S), and Eisenhower's running mate was Richard Nixon (N). So you can say... In 19(53), [D]wight and [N]ixon defeated [S]tevenson.

I was telling a buddy about 22 turned around is SS, and also told him how 143 means, I love you, and I always think about how much I love IMAP because it maps out my email to all of my devices. I have NOT thought of 20/21 for Forget That Period. THAT is awesome!
    It just felt great for him to forward me this video and seeing two of the ones I told him matched up exactly. Thank you!!

    389 and 3389 are easy to remember. 389 (RDP) has one less 3 than 3389. Therefore 389 has a lighter weight than 3389. Therefore 389 (RDP) is the heavyweight while 3389 (LDAP) is the lightweight.
