NotionCommotion Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 I know I don't have to use this port, however, all the examples use this port, and wonder if they have any reasons to do so. A Google search of Port 1337 revealed nothing of interest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacques1 Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 It's easy to remember (for those who know the meme), outside of the well-known ports and not registered. That makes it a good candicate for example code and testing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
requinix Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 If you look at a number of other projects, particularly open source ones, you'll see most use memorable port numbers (eg, 1337, 6666/7, 8080, 9000) above 1024 (ports 1-1024 are restricted in Linux).
