When a user enters a URL in their browser, the browser connects to the web server using this port to request resources like HTML files, images, and scripts. However, HTTP lacks encryption, meaning that data transmitted between the client and the server can be intercepted and read by malicious actors. It operates primarily on port 80, which serves as the default port for all HTTP traffic.
