About TCP Port 5888

Port 5888 sits outside of IANA’s formally registered assignments. Ports in this numerical range can be assigned by IANA but this specific port has no current registration. It does not currently appear in the IDS rulesets or malware activity indicators in our data sources. Unregistered ports are still commonly repurposed by local software, games, and occasionally malware, so verify what is listening before allowing traffic.
