Note: You should understand that most government IP address attacks take advantage of one simple exploit to hack into systems and steal data. Even a mediocre hacker knows how to use the port scan exploit via the Nmap software on a given local computer. With a ton of information at hand, they can then run exploits on the service in question. Using techniques like banner grabbing, hackers can exploit a port and the service using that port. If we’re talking about TCP/UDP, the total allocated ports reach around 65,500. Fundamentally, you should think of ports as openings that services use for communication. The primary way hackers use your IP address is to hack the ports that media sharing services use to operate on your computer. If someone with enough skills can find out your precise IP address, that person can make contact with your computer and, again with enough skill, transfer data to and from it. Think of it as your home address but only in the digital world. That ID is known as an IP (or Internet Protocol) address. Every person on the internet has a unique ID that belongs to the machine they’re using to access the internet.
