IIS is a dependency service for several other important Windows services – http.sys  Windows Remote Management WinRM – More granular control over site management – ASP, CGI and ASP.NET are completely absent until you add them on purpose

28. These roles/services communicate through ports. Ports make up the socket connection from the client to the server – Web browser to Web Server software – Sockets are displayed using: Netstat –aon – Ports are to IP addresses as extensions are to a phone number

29. Common services communicate through “well known” ports: – Web/WWW/HTTP  80 – HTTPS (secure web)  443 – FTP  20,21 – Remote Desktop  3389 – DNS  53 – Telnet  23 – Secure Shell (secure telnet)  22
