Hello everyone in this video. We are
going to see how you can see the POP3 capabilities.
So POP3 stands for post office protocol which
is used for receiving of emails.
So POP3 capabilities are defined in
the RFC 2 4 9 standard
the Kappa command allows a client
to ask a server what command it supports
and possibly any site specific
policy if it has
Besides the list of the supported commands the implementation
string gives the server version
if it is available so we can identify some
of the details about the POP3.
Service, which is running onto the target server, which may also
disclose the server version and the capabilities.
the syntax of doing this scan is nmap Target
IP followed by hyphen hyphen script equals
to pop three - capabilities
You can always add a hyphen V to
see the output in verbose mode the example
of doing this can over here at the
bottom.
So it is the Practical time and let's see how you
can run this particular scan.
You can see.
To enumerate the POP3 capabilities we are going
to use this particular scan. I will just go on
the terminal and I will paste it and you
have seen I have started this can successfully.
The scan is running and it will be able to
identify if POP3 is open or
not.
So you can see it has identified that the POP3
is running successfully on Port
995 over SSL.
And you can see the POP3 capabilities which
are shown over here.
Also, if you notice the POP3 capabilities
over without SSL is
running on 110 as you can see Dove Court
pop 3D and these are the capabilities which
are shown.
Sasl plane is the plane.
Default encryption method which is
used by POP3 and you can see user author
Response Code response codes are Kappa pipelining Top
uidl This are the capabilities of POP3, which
means that how it can communicate with
any other Target web server.
We also saw in the output that the hostname
or the target server was hacker udemy.com
as you can see over here and the
IP address is the loopback address because
we are running this particular server into our
own machine.
So I hope you guys understood that how you can run this particular
scan and find the POP3 capabilities.
Thank you.
