# WHATPORT(12174)

## NAME

port 12174 — Unassigned — Unassigned by IANA — the registry has `hivep` at 12172 and then nothing until 12300.

Protocol: TCP  
IANA registry

## DESCRIPTION

12174 has no IANA registration; the nearest assignments are `hivep` (12172, HiveP) below it and `linogridengine` (12300, LinoGrid Engine) above. Nmap records the port as `unknown` with a very low observed frequency. No documented product default and no known malware family uses it, so a listener here is a locally chosen port and the only way to identify it is to look at what answers.

## EXPOSURE

**Expose with care.** Unregistered and unfingerprinted. Determine the service before treating the port as safe to expose.

## CHECK

```sh
nmap -Pn -sV -p 12174 TARGET
```
