# WHATPORT(5962)

## NAME

port 5962 — Unassigned / VNC display :62 — The last unassigned number before 5963; conventionally VNC display :62.

Protocol: TCP  
IANA registry

## DESCRIPTION

5962 is the top of IANA's Unassigned 5915-5962 block — 5963 immediately after it is registered to `indy`. Under the RFB convention it is VNC display :62. No standard service, malware family, or scanner signature is specifically tied to this number.

## EXPOSURE

**Expose with care.** No registration means no expectations: find the process that owns it before allowing any inbound access, and if it turns out to be VNC, tunnel it.

## CHECK

```sh
sudo lsof -nP -iTCP:5962 -sTCP:LISTEN
```
