## Basiese Inligting

**Postkantoorprotokol (POP)** word beskryf as 'n protokol binne die domein van rekenaarnetwerke en die internet, wat gebruik word vir die onttrekking en **herwinning van e-pos vanaf 'n afgeleë posbusbediener**, sodat dit toeganklik is op die plaaslike toestel. Geplaas binne die aansoeklaag van die OSI-model, maak hierdie protokol dit moontlik vir gebruikers om e-pos op te haal en te ontvang. Die werking van **POP-kliënte** behels tipies die vestiging van 'n verbinding met die posbusbediener, die aflaai van alle boodskappe, die plaaslike stoor van hierdie boodskappe op die kliëntstelsel, en dit daarna van die bediener verwyder. Alhoewel daar drie iterasies van hierdie protokol is, steek **POP3** uit as die mees algemeen gebruikte weergawe.

**Verstekpoorte:** 110, 995(ssl)
```
PORT    STATE SERVICE
110/tcp open  pop3
```
## Opsomming

### Banner Gaping
```bash
nc -nv <IP> 110
openssl s_client -connect <IP>:995 -crlf -quiet
```
## Handleiding

Jy kan die opdrag `CAPA` gebruik om die vermoëns van die POP3-bediener te verkry.

## Outomaties
```bash
nmap --script "pop3-capabilities or pop3-ntlm-info" -sV -port <PORT> <IP> #All are default scripts
```
Die `pop3-ntlm-info` invoegtoepassing sal enkele "**sensitiewe**" data (Windows weergawes) teruggee.

## POP sintaks

POP-opdragvoorbeelde van [hier](http://sunnyoasis.com/services/emailviatelnet.html)
```bash
POP commands:
USER uid           Log in as "uid"
PASS password      Substitue "password" for your actual password
STAT               List number of messages, total mailbox size
LIST               List messages and sizes
RETR n             Show message n
DELE n             Mark message n for deletion
RSET               Undo any changes
QUIT               Logout (expunges messages if no RSET)
TOP msg n          Show first n lines of message number msg
CAPA               Get capabilities
```
### Post Office Protocol (POP)

POP is a protocol used by email clients to retrieve emails from a mail server. During a penetration test, you can attempt to retrieve emails from a target's mail server using tools like `telnet` or dedicated email clients configured to use POP. This can potentially expose sensitive information such as login credentials or confidential data.

Name: Notes
Description: Notes for POP
Note: |
Post Office Protocol (POP) is described as a protocol within the realm of computer networking and the Internet, which is utilized for the extraction and retrieval of email from a remote mail server**, making it accessible on the local device. Positioned within the application layer of the OSI model, this protocol enables users to fetch and receive email. The operation of POP clients typically involves establishing a connection to the mail server, downloading all messages, storing these messages locally on the client system, and subsequently removing them from the server. Although there are three iterations of this protocol, POP3 stands out as the most prevalently employed version.
