🔬HTTP Enum

HTTP (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol) - a client-server application layer protocol, used to load web pages using hypertext links.

A client machine makes a request to a server (usually from a website), which then sends a response message back to the client.

Default HTTP port is 80 and HTTPS port is 443.

sudo nmap -p80 -sV -O <TARGET_IP>
