Synopsis

  • Jupyter Notebook/JupyterLab uses TCP 8888 by default for its web UI (e.g., via Anaconda or VS Code notebooks).
  • Cloudera Hue (the Hadoop ecosystem web interface) defaults to port 8888 for its web UI.
  • Fiddler (HTTP(S) debugging proxy) listens on 127.0.0.1:8888 by default.
  • Charles Proxy (web debugging proxy) uses port 8888 by default for its local proxy.
  • MAMP on macOS commonly configures Apache to listen on port 8888 for local development.
  • Sun/Oracle AnswerBook2 (Solaris documentation server) historically served its web UI on port 8888.
  • Because 8888 is often used by developer tools and proxies, attackers frequently scan for exposed Jupyter/Hue instances or open proxy listeners on this port to hijack sessions or execute arbitrary code.
