What are the standard ports for HTTP (80), HTTPS (443) and SSH (22), with peg words?

80 → vase; 443 → "rearm"; 22 → nun.

A padlock clicking shut on a web page — HTTPS on port 443, peg rearm (r·r·m).

  • 80 — plain HTTP → vase (/v/·/s/).
  • 443 — HTTPS (HTTP over TLS) → 4·4·3 = /r/·/r/·/m/ → rearm (a lock being re-armed).
  • 22 — SSH, encrypted remote login → nun (/n/·/n/), quietly disciplined like good security.

Ports are the 16-bit "door numbers" that let one machine run many network services at once.
