5811

Unassigned

No IANA registration and no common service — an open 5811 is whatever local application claimed it.

TCP IANA registry

Description

5811 sits in a gap of the IANA registry: 5813 (icmpd) and 5814 (spt-automation) are registered, but 5811 is not, and no mainstream product defaults to it. Under VNC's 5800+display convention it would correspond to display :11, which is rare in practice. Treat a hit here as an unknown service and identify it directly.

Exposed to the internet?

Expose with care

An unknown listener deserves no default trust. Confirm the process and its authentication before exposing it anywhere.

Check it yourself

$ sudo lsof -nP -iTCP:5811 -sTCP:LISTEN
