HTTP Port   80 (443 for HTTPS)  
🗑
HTTP Layer   Layer 7 / Application  
🗑
HTTP Purpose   Used for transferring hypertext and web media. Typically uses TCP. Uses a request-response format where a URI is used to request certain resources and the server sends those resources back.  
🗑
HTTP Encryption   Plaintext unless HTTPS is used  
🗑
SMTP Port   25 (mail servers) / 587 (mail clients to mail server)  
🗑
SMTP Layer   Layer 7 / Application  
🗑
SMTP Purpose   Used primarily for sending and receiving mail between mail servers. Mail clients usually only use SMTP to send mail to mail servers (over port 587).  
🗑
SMTP Encryption   Plaintext  
🗑
SMB Port   445  
🗑
SMB Layer   Layer 7 / Application  
🗑
SMB Purpose   Used for network file, directory, and share access and sharing. Used by hosts on the network, printers, and other network connected devices that might need file access.  
🗑
SMB Encryption   SMB2 doesn't encrypt, SMB3 supports encryption  
🗑
SSH Port   22  
🗑
SSH Layer   Could be argued for Application (using ssh for remote shell), Presentation (encryption of data), Session (encrypted tunneling), or Transport (data transfer with encryption). Who tf knows ¯\_(ツ)_/¯  
🗑
SSH Purpose   Provides a secure channel for communication over an insecure network. Other services can run on top of SSH to encrypt data being sent.  
🗑
SSH Encryption   Encrypted  
🗑
SCP Port   22  
🗑
SCP Layer   Application (user interaction to get files from the server / host)  
🗑
SCP Purpose   Used for file sharing between hosts. Usually clients can upload files to a server and pull down files from that server. Runs over SSH.  
🗑
SCP Encryption   Encrypted  
🗑
Telnet Port   23  
🗑
Telnet Layer   Application  
🗑
Telnet Purpose   Provides text based communication with remote hosts. Usually over a command-line interface.  
🗑
Telnet Encryption   Plaintext  
🗑
FTP Port   20 (data transfer) and 21 (command / control port)  
🗑
FTP Layer   Application  
🗑
FTP Purpose   Used for transferring files between a client and server. Can use FTPS (over SSL/TLS) or SFTP (over SSH) for encryption. Active mode (client tells server what port to send data to, server sends from port 20 to that port). Passive (client behind firewall)  
🗑
FRP Encryption   Plaintext  
🗑
DNS Port   53  
🗑
DNS Layer   Application  
🗑
DNS Purpose    
🗑
DNS Encryption   Plaintext  
🗑
BGP Port   179 (Using TCP)  
🗑
BGP Layer   Application  
🗑
BGP Purpose   Allows Autonomous System to share routing information so each AS can route between one another. Manually configured to allow each neighboring AS to connect to one another only if both agree. Finds optimal routing paths for destinations in other AS  
🗑
BGP Encryption   Plaintext  
🗑
