# WHATPORT(6779)

## NAME

port 6779 — Unassigned — Unassigned at IANA, at the start of the 6779-6783 free block.

Protocol: TCP  
IANA registry

## DESCRIPTION

IANA lists 6779-6783 as Unassigned, and nmap's service database gives 6779 no name. No standard protocol, no vendor default, nothing documented squatting here. A listener on 6779 is an application that took a free high port, and the port number carries no information about it.

## EXPOSURE

**Expose with care.** Treat as unidentified software until you match it to a process on the host.

## CHECK

```sh
sudo lsof -nP -iTCP:6779 -sTCP:LISTEN
```
