# WHATPORT(7929)

## NAME

port 7929 — Unassigned — Unassigned by IANA and unnamed in Nmap's database — a genuinely empty port number.

Protocol: TCP  
IANA registry

## DESCRIPTION

Like its neighbours, 7929 sits in IANA's 7914-7931 Unassigned block. Nmap records it as `unknown` with an open-port frequency of about 0.00015, which puts it among the rarest ports it tracks. Nothing well-documented — no product default, no malware family — is associated with the number itself. If you find it open, the service is application-specific and must be fingerprinted.

## EXPOSURE

**Expose with care.** There is no protocol here to judge; judge the listener. An unknown service on a public IP is a finding, not a configuration.

## CHECK

```sh
nmap -sV -Pn -p 7929 TARGET
```
