8000 | tcp | trojans | Commonly used as an alternate HTTP port. Some firewalls use it for HTTP web administration. Also commonly used for internet radio streams using Nicecast/Icecast/Shoutcast/Winamp audio streaming. Applications that use this port: Fortinet FortiGate uses the following ports (in addition to standard ports 53, 80, 443): Splunk (big data analysis software) uses the following ports by default: Malware using this port: W32.Spybot.OGX [Symantec-2005-050217-0724-99] (2005.05.02) - network-aware worm with distributed denial of service and backdoor capabilities. Opens a backdoor by connecting to an IRC server on port 8000/tcp. W32.Mytob.JW@mm [Symantec-2005-100312-4423-99] (2005.10.04) - a mass-mailing worm with backdoor capabilities that lowers security settings on the compromised computer. Opens a backdoor and listens for remote commands on port 8000/tcp. Also uses port 10027/tcp to download a copy of the worm. JSMP3OGGWt.dll in JetCast Server 2.0.0.4308 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (daemon crash) via a long .mp3 URI to TCP port 8000. Gordano NTMail 6.0.3c allows a remote attacker to create a denial of service via a long (>= 255 characters) URL request to port 8000 or port 9000. Stack-based buffer overflow in collectoragent.exe in Fortinet Single Sign On (FSSO) before build 164 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a large PROCESS_HELLO message to the Message Dispatcher on TCP port 8000. Port is also IANA registered for iRDMI. | SG |

Notes:
Port numbers in computer networking represent communication endpoints. Ports are unsigned 16-bit integers (0-65535) that identify a specific process, or network service. IANA is responsible for internet protocol resources, including the registration of commonly used port numbers for well-known internet services.
Well Known Ports: 0 through 1023.
Registered Ports: 1024 through 49151.
Dynamic/Private : 49152 through 65535.
TCP ports use the Transmission Control Protocol, the most commonly used protocol on the Internet and any TCP/IP network. TCP enables two hosts to establish a connection and exchange streams of data. TCP guarantees delivery of data and that packets will be delivered in the same order in which they were sent. Guaranteed communication/delivery is the key difference between TCP and UDP.
UDP ports use the Datagram Protocol. Like TCP, UDP is used in combination with IP (the Internet Protocol) and facilitates the transmission of datagrams from one computer to applications on another computer, but unlike TCP, UDP is connectionless and does not guarantee reliable communication; it's up to the application that received the message to process any errors and verify correct delivery. UDP is often used with time-sensitive applications, such as audio/video streaming and realtime gaming, where dropping some packets is preferable to waiting for delayed data.
When troubleshooting unknown open ports, it is useful to find exactly what services/processes are listening to them. This can be accomplished in both Windows command prompt and Linux variants using the "netstat -aon" command. We also recommend runnig multiple anti-virus/anti-malware scans to rule out the possibility of active malicious software. For more detailed and personalized help please use our forums.
