# WHATPORT(9914)

## NAME

port 9914 — Unassigned — Unassigned at IANA with no documented service — the number tells you nothing.

Protocol: TCP  
IANA registry

## DESCRIPTION

IANA has no registration for 9914, and Nmap's service data lists it as `unknown` at low frequency. No standard protocol, product default, or well-documented malware claims it. If it is open, some locally installed application bound it; the process table is the only reliable source of truth.

## EXPOSURE

**Expose with care.** No known service, so no defensible verdict from the number alone. Identify the listener first.

## CHECK

```sh
sudo lsof -nP -iTCP:9914 -sTCP:LISTEN
```
