@@DuitLikeThis Good luck and happy cramming :D don't stress too much, take your time with the questions, re-read everything, make sure you're hydrated and have a snack beforehand so you have energy and not just focused on being hungry and struggle to focus. They give you plenty of time, so you can go back and review questions you struggled on and give them more attention :)
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).
I just want to thank you for this video, it's been insanely helpful for cramming the port numbers especially as someone who hasn't really considered IT / tech to be a viable job path until very recently
Bless You!!!! ☺I just memorized 13 ports after watching this once! Also, thank you to the people who left comments on how they memorized a few. All of it helped.
Holy crap I was struggling with memorizing these ports for soo long, but after watching this video three times in a row, I aced them on quizlet flashcards. THANK YOU
Thank you so much! I'm thrilled to share that I passed the CORE 2, and it wouldn't have been possible without the invaluable information from the video. 🙏🎉
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"
His content is great and helpful, but I wouldn't say it's the best. I'd have to give that to Professor Messer, he is actually partnered with CompTIA so if you're serious about passing give him a shot :)
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
Earned a like for the Roman network protocol stretch/bit. I had a good laugh and will now likely never forget 161 is the SNMP port. Thank you❤🎉 Not to memorize the other dozen 😅
This is exactly how I used to memorize stuff I needed to learn back in grade school, coming up with simple little things to help me remember! God bless you sir! This is just what I needed!
HTTP: Around The World In 80 Days (in a hot air balloon) Seriously, watch the movie. NTP - think of the clock - 1 2 3 69 TFTP - The F- (welp it became awkward)
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.
Same here bro I struggled with it on my 1101 exam I’m taking 1102 this Saturday just remember what you learned and be prepared for a lot of customer service questions and knowledge based questions
For the RDP port 3389 this is how I remember it: RD reminds me of the initials for Robert Downey Jr, from the Iron Man/MCU movies (who's rich btw). And the P can almost look like someone sticking their tongue out if you turn your head. So RDP on top of 3389 being the largest port in the video, makes me think of Tony stark teasing that he has a lot of money.
I found these to be the most memorable: (great work coming up with them) 20/21(FTP), 22(SSH), 23(Telnet), 25(SMTP), 67/68(DHCP), 110(POP3), 143(IMAP), 445(SMB) But these ports are a bit abstract without preexisting knowledge of what's being referenced: 53(Eisenhower), 137/139(NetBIOS), 161/162(SNMP), 389(LDAP)
great video helps so much thank you. for the 389 LADP and 3899 RDP this worked for me 4 letters = 3 Numbers and 3 letters = 4 numbers they're opposites
I am honestly getting a little thrill with seeing this and seeing that someone else used two of the ways I remember some of these ports! 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!!
Thanks. This actually helps for Sec+ exam too! Although there are a few more ports to remember, like Secured LDAP By the way, Secured LDAP is by far the most confusing port number to remember: 636....LDAP is 389! So it's nowhere close to the number of the secured version 😂
20, 21 FTP, 22 SSH, and 23 telnet helps me! Someone else said SNMP sounds like shrimp = 161 which could symbolize a shrimp on a plate. For as many of the remaining ones as possible, I associate them with the first thing I think of or something significant to me. To learn the rest, make flash cards and start with 2 cards and add or subtract one each time you feel you have it or need help. Take turns going by name/# and just don't let the discouraging thoughts in and you will learn them in an hour or two of dedicated studying.
Here's another one for port 53: DNS = Disney's New Show - Peter Pan (1953). The acronym just works for me, and the movie was released in 1953. I just remember the movie release date and the acronym.
I think of netbios as when you set up a LAN that you’re most likely gonna be unlucky (13) that it works the first time with a small bit of luck (7) that it does work flawlessly in less than 10 (9) tries. I know it’s somewhat easy to set it up, but that’s what I used to remember it.
I am terrible at memorizing stuff like this so I'm most stressed about this part of the exam since there's probably going to be a performance-based question to match port numbers with their protocols. Your example for 53 was quite a stretch but 23, 25, 67/68, 110 and 389 make perfect sense, overall nice video!
ive watched this probably 20 times by now and im watching it one last time before my exam tmr, for real this video helped me memorize all of them even on some of the stranger ones i even ended up making up some other ways of memorizing them myself thank you for the video!!!!!!!
What I am glad I clicked on this video. I have been having a hard time remembering these ports. Do you have any more A+ or IT videos that can help me to remember like the Raid's?
OMG this was fantastic thank you so much !!! for DNS, I used DNS ( DO not SEE ) who is blind ? Ray Charles born 1953. he isn't born in 1953 but I pretend he is lol but an actual blind person born in 1953 is a painter Esref Armagan but he's not as famous as Ray Charles.
TFTP is Port 69 Trivial File Transfer Protocol Trivial means something that doesn't matter. During 69 it doesn't matter if your the 6 or the 9, your both getting pleased at the same time.
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.

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"
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.

@@Fernandez218 no joke i instantly thought of it sounding like the word simp and was trying to memorize it similiarly and you did it first! Thanks bro
@@Superior_Self haha. I have too much time on my hands.
You got 69 like on this idea.
I like it but I couldn't bring myself to hit that like and messing it up
i watched this, went back to studying flashcards thinking it did not work. IT WORKED THANK YOU.
Glad it helped :) Yeah these are silly, but sometimes the silly stuff sticks :D
Same for me lol
Nine months later and the A+ and network+ passed, thanks again for helping me remember these
LDAP is 389 and RDP is 3389. so if you remember one, you remember both. that's helped me.
123 NTP easy to remember 😁
Yessss! I do the same
I'm trying to remember the 636 one

DNS Do Not/use Salt if you are over 53 years old 😂
You die faster without salt then water.

Salt is very healthy and without it you die. So it literally prevents your cells from exploding: Die No Salt

Do not salt your domain, if your over 53
Genius 😂
😂
Thanks bro, I appreciate the way you explained. I am planning to take a CompTIA A+ soon and your video is really helpful in remembering the ports.
Earned a like for the Roman network protocol stretch/bit. I had a good laugh and will now likely never forget 161 is the SNMP port. Thank you❤🎉
Not to memorize the other dozen 😅
I like to remember LDAP as an LA-PD police vehicle with the number 389 written on the back of it being the vehicle identifier LOL
i'll never forget DHCP since i'm a 37 year old child. Thank you
Definitely going to rewatch this over and over.
This is exactly how I used to memorize stuff I needed to learn back in grade school, coming up with simple little things to help me remember! God bless you sir! This is just what I needed!
just wanna lyk, after watching this videolike 2 times ive literally gotten all of them right multiple times in my little matching games. Thank you!

I was about to use the beetle car but this works better
This is great. There's even more ports to know for CompTIA Network plus it would be awesome if you made a video for that.
I have my 220-1101 on Wednesday and where I'd been struggling mostly was how to memorise the ports! Thank you for this!
You're very welcome :)
Yup. Watched this once and already remember most of it.
Thank you! I have been "Santa Mailing" my way through my A+ studies.
honestly this is going to help so much, I'm taking part one of the A+ next Wednesday and ports and printers are my biggest struggle.
Same here bro I struggled with it on my 1101 exam I’m taking 1102 this Saturday just remember what you learned and be prepared for a lot of customer service questions and knowledge based questions
What printer problems are you having trouble with? Maybe I can make some resources for those.
For the RDP port 3389 this is how I remember it: RD reminds me of the initials for Robert Downey Jr, from the Iron Man/MCU movies (who's rich btw). And the P can almost look like someone sticking their tongue out if you turn your head.

The super mario bros bit is just genius lol
I already did the 23 Jordan trick. I'm glad I'm not the only one
Found this while studying for the CC by ISC2, very useful and really helped in the exam, love TEL it to the NET :D
Best video I have encountered this week! I really needed this, thank you
I found these to be the most memorable: (great work coming up with them)
20/21(FTP), 22(SSH), 23(Telnet), 25(SMTP), 67/68(DHCP), 110(POP3), 143(IMAP), 445(SMB)
But these ports are a bit abstract without preexisting knowledge of what's being referenced:
53(Eisenhower), 137/139(NetBIOS), 161/162(SNMP), 389(LDAP)
You have no idea how much this helps 👌🏻🙏🏻❤️
great video helps so much thank you.
for the 389 LADP and 3899 RDP this worked for me 4 letters = 3 Numbers and 3 letters = 4 numbers they're opposites
I found the best way to remember DNS as port 53. DNS stands for (Dwight and(N) Stalin) Dwight was president and Stalin died in 1953.
That was a really good trick at 0:59. I actually forgot 20,21 was FTP as it has been so long.
It was the DHCP for me, won’t think of it another way again🙂 thank you all are helpful
Downtown Has Cheese Pizza at the corner of 67 & 68

Yes. There's a file systems video, malware removal steps video, linux and windows commands video, and more to come :)
OMG this was fantastic thank you so much !!!
for DNS, I used DNS ( DO not SEE ) who is blind ? Ray Charles born 1953.
he isn't born in 1953 but I pretend he is lol
but an actual blind person born in 1953 is a painter Esref Armagan but he's not as famous as Ray Charles.

I remember DNS as port number 53 because Jerry Garcia died at age 53. So I remember D.eadheads N.ever S.leep 53. I know it's dumb but helps me remember.
ill never forget port 22 SSH after today. thanks LOL
This was extremely helpful. Aaaaahhhhh! Why does my brain learn this way it’s so stupid
I remember DNS by associating 53 with the age my dad was when he was divorced.. lol
dude all of them helped. you are a freaking beast
