# WHATPORT(8254)

## NAME

port 8254 — Unassigned — Unassigned at IANA, with no widely used default service.

Protocol: TCP  
IANA registry

## DESCRIPTION

The IANA registry has no assignment for 8254 on TCP or UDP. No mainstream product defaults to it, so a listener here was configured by hand or handed out by a local convention. The only honest reading of a 8254 on a scan is that something is listening and you have to identify it yourself.

## EXPOSURE

**Expose with care.** Unregistered means unlabelled, not unimportant; fingerprint it and find the owning process.

## CHECK

```sh
sudo lsof -nP -iTCP:8254 -sTCP:LISTEN
```
