# WHATPORT(8085)

## NAME

port 8085 — Unregistered HTTP alternate — Unassigned at IANA; in practice a spare HTTP port next to 8080.

Protocol: TCP  
IANA: Unassigned

## DESCRIPTION

IANA lists 8085 as Unassigned for both TCP and UDP, so nothing owns it. It shows up when a machine already has something on 8080 through 8084 and the next process takes the next number — a second web app, an admin UI, or a container port mapping. Anything you find here has to be identified from its banner or response, not from the port.

## EXPOSURE

**Expose with care.** An unregistered HTTP port is usually something a developer or a compose file bound without thinking about the network it landed on.

## CHECK

```sh
curl -sI --max-time 5 http://TARGET:8085/
```
