# WHATPORT(1114)

## NAME

port 1114 — Mini SQL (mSQL) — Mini SQL, Hughes Technologies' lightweight SQL engine from the mid-1990s.

Protocol: TCP  
IANA registry

## DESCRIPTION

IANA registers 1114 to mini-sql, David Hughes' Mini SQL — a small embeddable SQL database first released in 1994 and still sold by Hughes Technologies, which notes it has been built into products from HP, Cisco and others. Clients speak its own wire protocol to the msqld server on this port. It shows up today on old Unix hosts and embedded appliances that bundled mSQL, not on new deployments; Nmap's frequency data ranks it very low.

## EXPOSURE

**Do not expose.** It is a database listener from an era before transport encryption was assumed — keep it bound to loopback or a private network and reach it over SSH.

## CHECK

```sh
nmap -Pn -p 1114 -sV TARGET
```
