TCP 1337
Synopsis
- Strapi (headless CMS) runs on TCP 1337 by default (e.g., http://localhost:1337).
- Sails.js (Node.js MVC framework) lifts on TCP 1337 by default in development.
- Parse Server (open-source backend for Parse) defaults to TCP 1337 if PORT isn’t set in its quickstart/configs.
- WASTE (Nullsoft’s secure P2P messaging/filesharing) traditionally listens on TCP 1337; it appears as “waste” in many systems’ services lists.
- Because “1337” is hacker slang for “leet,” this port is often chosen in exploits, CTFs, and some ad-hoc malware/backdoors for bind shells or C2, though it isn’t tied to a single specific family.
