The Application layer protocol that is typically used for communication over port 80 is HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol). Hence, it is likely that an HTTP session is established with the host at the address 208.85.40.44:80.
To determine which computer is the host at that IP address, you can use the command-line utility called "ping". The ping utility sends an Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) Echo Request to the specified host and receives an ICMP Echo Reply if the host is available. In this case, the command `ping 208.85.40.44` can be used to identify the host.
When running a scan on your computer, you find that a session has been established with a host at the address 208.85.40.44:80. Which Application layer protocol is in use for this session? What command-line utility might you use to determine which computer is the host?
