60443

Unassigned — commonly an alternate HTTPS port

An alternate HTTPS port by shape, not by standard — 443 with a prefix.

TCP IANA registry

Description

Nothing is registered at 60443; RFC 6335 puts it in the Dynamic/Private range that IANA leaves alone. Like 8443 and 58080, the digits are the tell: it is chosen by hand for a TLS listener when the obvious ports are occupied, often an appliance or application management interface. Nmap's nmap-services lists it "unknown" at 0.000228, and SANS ISC has no service name for it. A TLS handshake and its certificate will identify the owner faster than any port database.

Expose with care

TLS on a nonstandard port is still TLS, but an administrative console is an administrative console. Restrict by source address or put it behind a VPN rather than relying on the unusual port number.

Check it yourself

$ openssl s_client -connect TARGET:60443 -brief </dev/null
