# WHATPORT(8290)

## NAME

port 8290 — Unassigned — Unassigned at IANA, with no widely used default service.

Protocol: TCP  
IANA: Unassigned

## DESCRIPTION

IANA has no registration for 8290 on either transport. Nothing common defaults to it, and a listener here is a local choice. It is worth not confusing with 8291 one number away, which MikroTik RouterOS uses for WinBox management — also unregistered, but genuinely common on network gear.

## EXPOSURE

**Expose with care.** Identify the process behind it; if you are scanning network equipment, check whether 8291 is open alongside it.

## CHECK

```sh
sudo lsof -nP -iTCP:8290 -sTCP:LISTEN
```
