# WHATPORT(8045)

## NAME

port 8045 — Unassigned — Inside IANA's 8045-8050 Unassigned block, with no known standard occupant.

Protocol: TCP  
IANA registry

## DESCRIPTION

IANA lists 8045 through 8050 as Unassigned, and Nmap files 8045 as `unknown`. The registered ports on either side belong to FireScope (8042-8044) and Rocrail (8051), neither of which spills into this gap. Anything listening on 8045 is an application-specific choice, most often one more HTTP port on a busy host.

## EXPOSURE

**Expose with care.** Judge the listener, not the number — an unregistered port gives you no protocol to reason about.

## CHECK

```sh
nmap -sV -Pn -p 8045 TARGET
```
