79 - Finger
The Finger service is a legacy network protocol that runs on TCP port 79. It provides information about users on a remote system, such as login names, full names, and idle times. While largely obsolete today, it was historically used for user lookup and communication, but it poses security risks because it can expose sensitive account information to unauthenticated remote users.

nc <target> 79finger-user-enum is a tool for enumerating OS-level user accounts via the Finger service, known to work against the default Solaris daemon as of v1.0, though it may not support all daemons due to the lack of a standardized response format.
