# WHATPORT(458)

## NAME

port 458 — Apple QuickTime (appleqtc) — Apple's old QuickTime TV / QuickTime Conferencing port, from products that no longer exist.

Protocol: TCP  
IANA: appleqtc

## DESCRIPTION

IANA holds 458 as appleqtc, "apple quick time", registered by Apple for its QuickTime conferencing and streaming products of the late 1990s. Apple's streaming work moved to RTSP on 554 and RTP, QuickTime Streaming Server was discontinued, and QuickTime itself is gone from Windows and folded into AVFoundation on macOS. Apple's current port documentation does not list 458 at all. A listener here means legacy software on an old Mac rather than anything Apple ships now.

## EXPOSURE

**Expose with care.** Discontinued media software receiving no security updates — keep it on the LAN if it must run at all.

## CHECK

```sh
nmap -sV -p 458 TARGET
```
