Press enter on the second option to use it. This part deals with the network security of your server. In the port scanner part, we saw open ports can pose a security threat. Open ports are used by applications and services and, as any piece of code, they may have vulnerabilities or bugs. The more applications and services run using open ports for Internet communication, the higher the risk of one of them having a vulnerability that can be exploited. First of all, we advise you to close all the ports except ssh and relay ports but if you are using some external service to connect with the server then you should check your server for vulnerabilities. This part of the tool uses Nmap (network mapper) to analyze the services running on the open ports and scan them for vulnerabilities.

If you find any vulnerabilities in any service running on a particular port, please update it.
