# WHATPORT(9290)

## NAME

port 9290 — Unassigned — Unregistered and uncommon; nothing standard claims 9290.

Protocol: TCP  
IANA registry

## DESCRIPTION

The IANA registry has no assignment for 9290 and nmap lists it as unknown. Like the rest of the sparsely used 9200-9400 range it shows up as an application's arbitrary choice rather than as a protocol. Fingerprint the listener rather than reading meaning into the number.

## EXPOSURE

**Expose with care.** The verdict belongs to whatever service is bound there; establish that first.

## CHECK

```sh
nmap -sV -Pn -p 9290 TARGET
```
