# WHATPORT(8800)

## NAME

port 8800 — Sun Web Server admin (registered) — The registered admin port of Sun's web server line — an administration plane, whatever ends up using it.

Protocol: TCP  
IANA: sunwebadmin

## DESCRIPTION

IANA registers 8800 as sunwebadmin, the Sun Web Server administration service, later carried into Oracle iPlanet Web Server. That product line is end-of-life, so the registration mostly survives as a label. In practice the number gets reused as a round HTTP-alt port by appliances and self-hosted software, so confirm what is listening instead of trusting the registry name.

## EXPOSURE

**Do not expose.** As registered it is a server administration console; admin planes do not belong on a public interface regardless of which vendor's console it turns out to be.

## CHECK

```sh
curl -skI https://TARGET:8800/
```
