# WHATPORT(1061)

## NAME

port 1061 — KIOSK — Registered as KIOSK with no public specification; rare on scans.

Protocol: TCP/UDP  
IANA registry

## DESCRIPTION

IANA lists 1061 as `kiosk`, "KIOSK", a vendor registration with no surviving public documentation of the protocol or the product. nmap-services records it open on 0.038% of scanned hosts, near the floor for this range. Nothing more can be honestly established about the registered service. The generic name occasionally attracts unrelated kiosk-style or point-of-sale applications that pick the port because it matches their domain, which is convention rather than registration.

## EXPOSURE

**Expose with care.** Unknown service. If it does turn out to be a kiosk or POS application, those rarely authenticate their management interfaces — keep it off any untrusted network.

## CHECK

```sh
nmap -Pn -sV -p 1061 TARGET
```
