# WHATPORT(1169)

## NAME

port 1169 — Tripwire — IANA-registered to Tripwire, the file-integrity monitoring vendor.

Protocol: TCP  
IANA registry

## DESCRIPTION

IANA assigns 1169 to tripwire on TCP and UDP, registered by Tripwire. The original Open Source Tripwire is a local file-integrity checker that compares the filesystem against a signed baseline and opens no network listener at all, so the registration relates to the company's commercial agent/console products rather than the open-source tool. Nmap's frequency data shows it is rarely found open.

## EXPOSURE

**Expose with care.** A security-agent control channel is a high-value target — keep it on the management network and confirm which product actually owns the listener.

## CHECK

```sh
sudo lsof -nP -iTCP:1169 -sTCP:LISTEN
```
