Nmap returns both, mysql and mariadb versions, how do I khow which one is actually running?

Question

I ran nmap scan and output included following line:

3306/tcp open     mysql    MySQL 5.5.5-10.3.25-MariaDB-0+deb10u1

How do I know which one is actually running, MySQL or MariaDB?

Answer 1

MariaDB is a fork of MySQL. The port used and protocol spoken are MySQL. The version string indicates MariaDB.
