# WHATPORT(8050)

## NAME

port 8050 — Unassigned — The last port in IANA's 8045-8050 Unassigned block; nothing standard lives here.

Protocol: TCP  
IANA registry

## DESCRIPTION

8050 is unassigned at IANA and unnamed in Nmap's service database, where it sits near the bottom of the observed-frequency list. No widely documented product default claims it. As with the rest of the 8000-8100 band, an open 8050 is a private choice by whatever software is running, and only a banner or version scan will tell you what.

## EXPOSURE

**Expose with care.** No registration, no protocol, no default verdict. Fingerprint the service and judge that instead.

## CHECK

```sh
nmap -sV -Pn -p 8050 TARGET
```
