# WHATPORT(808)

## NAME

port 808 — alternate HTTP / CCProxy / net.tcp — Unregistered but busy: CCProxy's HTTP proxy, .NET net.tcp services, and assorted alternate web ports.

Protocol: TCP  
IANA registry

## DESCRIPTION

IANA has no assignment for 808, but it is one of the more commonly open ports in this range. Nmap names it "ccproxy-http" after CCProxy, a Windows HTTP/FTP/Gopher proxy that uses it by default, and an open 808 on a Windows host is often exactly that. It is also the default port for Microsoft's net.tcp:// WCF endpoints and the Net.TCP Port Sharing Service, and a popular hand-picked alternate HTTP port for internal web apps. Which of these you have is decided entirely by fingerprinting, since the three speak completely different protocols.

## EXPOSURE

**Do not expose.** An open proxy on 808 will be found and abused for relayed traffic within days; WCF endpoints are internal RPC. Neither belongs on a public IP unauthenticated.

## CHECK

```sh
curl -sv -x TARGET:808 -o /dev/null http://example.com/
```
