8889

Jupyter (second instance), HTTP alternate

Where the second Jupyter server lands when 8888 is already taken.

TCP IANA: ddi-tcp-2

Description

Jupyter servers try their configured port and then walk upward to the next free one, so a machine already running a notebook on 8888 puts the next on 8889. The same happens with any tool that retries the next port. IANA registers 8889 as ddi-tcp-2 (Desktop Data), which is not something you will encounter. Treat it exactly as you would 8888: identify the process, and assume a notebook until proven otherwise.

Exposed to the internet?

Do not expose

Same reasoning as 8888 — if this is a notebook server it is arbitrary code execution for anyone who can reach it and get past the token.
