Use this tool to find specific TCP/UDP port numbers assigned to various services or programs. This tool searches for both well known ports and registered port numbers. The official list is available in IAEA website
Note: if you cannot find particular port number, then the port is either reserved or not assigned.

A port is a communication point where one or more computers in a network communicate with each other through a program or software. There are about 0-65535 ports assigned to do specific tasks in a PC. Most ports operate with TCP or UDP protocol.

Port Number Finder Tool
Port numbers are assigned by an organisation called IANA and ports are allocated to various needs to avoid confusion.
Ports are classified into 3 main categories..
Well Known Ports
Well known ports are used by system or processes run by root or with
specific previleges. The port numbers range from 0 to 1023.
Registered Ports
The registered port numbers range from 1024-49151. Such ports are used
by programs run by users in the system.
Private/Dynamic Ports
Private ports are not assigned for any specific purpose. its range
are from range 49152–65535
TCP/IP Protocol |
UDP Protocol |
| It is a connection oriented protocol | It is connectionless protocol which means it can send packets without establishing connection with the receiver at first. |
| It has flow control and error correction | It is error prone during transmission. |
| It is not fast and primarily used for data transmission like (http,ssh,smtp,ftp, mail etc.) | It is fast and used mostly for audio and video streaming. |
| Most common services requiring confirmation of delivery like http,ssh,smtp,ftp, mail etc. use TCP ports | UDP ports are commonly used by services or programs that dont require the confirmation of delivery of packets. Most commonly used is DNS queries using UDP port 53. |
Port numbers can also be specified using URL. For example port 80 is by default for HTTP. when you type a dot com in your browser the browser sends request in the form of http://www.domain.com:80/ to the server which responds and transfers data. Similarly port numbers can be specified in URL format as specified below depending on the application running with apache.
Example:
http://www.domain.com:80/
https://www.domain.com:443/
(Secure HTTP with SSL)
Note that the ports are specified with colon (:) in front.
The following port numbers are unofficial list of commonly used for linux/unix based servers.
