Localhost Audit Analysis

Scanning the Mirror: Why your secure ports (22, 443, 993) are reporting as closed.

Analysis of 127.0.0.1 (Localhost)

Scanning localhost is a scan of your own internal loopback interface. Because the ports are Closed, your computer is actively telling Nmap: "I hear you, but I am not running any server software right now."

Service-by-Service Breakdown

• Port 22 (SSH): Closed
  You do not have an SSH server (like OpenSSH) running. You can connect out to other servers, but no one can SSH into your machine.
• Port 443 (HTTPS): Closed
  Your machine is not acting as a web server. Even though you browse the web (which uses 443), you aren't hosting a secure website locally.
• Port 636/993/995: Closed
  Common for personal PCs. These are for directory services and secure email hosting, which typically only run on servers.

The "Kubernetes" Clue

Your scan report contains a very specific detail:

rDNS record for 127.0.0.1: kubernetes.docker.internal

This tells us you have Docker Desktop or a Kubernetes environment installed. These tools often open high-numbered ports (like 6443 or 8080) rather than the standard low-numbered ports (22, 443).
