# WHATPORT(1060)

## NAME

port 1060 — POLESTAR — Registered as POLESTAR; a vendor name with no public protocol behind it.

Protocol: TCP/UDP  
IANA registry

## DESCRIPTION

IANA assigns 1060 to `polestar`, "POLESTAR", a vendor registration from the 1990s with no published specification. No implementation or product documentation for it is publicly available today, and Nmap records the name with no description. That is the complete truthful account of the registration. Treat an open 1060 as an unidentified application port and fingerprint the process that owns it.

## EXPOSURE

**Expose with care.** Unknown service; identify what is bound there before deciding whether it may face a network you do not control.

## CHECK

```sh
nmap -Pn -sV -p 1060 TARGET
```
