What is the service name for port 445 that came up in our Nmap scan?

Answer

microsoft-ds

Explanation

In order to know what service is running on port 445, we'll perform a port scan.

sudo nmap -T5 -sCV <target_ip>

-T5 is the aggressiveness level. 5 is the highest and 0 is the softest.

-sCV refers to Nmap scripts. 'C' stands for the most commonly used scripts, while 'V' are the scripts that provide service information for each port.

Other option is sudo nmap -sCV -p445 <target_ip>

sudo nmap -T5 -sCV <target_ip>
