Ports
vScope uses several ports for data collection, target identification, and communication with InfraSight Labs’ support services. Ensuring these ports are open in your firewall(s) enables optimal functionality.
Accessing vScope
- Browser Access: Default is TCP 80 (configurable during installation).
- Proxy Communication: Default is TCP 4445 (configurable if using proxies).
Target Identification: Port Scan
vScope scans network ranges to identify accessible targets by checking common ports. You can disable this feature if needed: Disabling port scan.
Ports for Identification:
| Port | Protocol | Service |
|---|---|---|
| 22 | TCP | SSH |
| 80 | TCP | HTTP |
| 135 | TCP | RPC |
| 139 | TCP | NetBIOS |
| 443 | TCP | HTTPS |
| 445 | TCP | SMB |
| 8080 | TCP | HTTP (alternative) |
| 1433 | TCP | Microsoft SQL |
| 3306 | TCP | MySQL |
| 3389 | TCP | RDP |
| 5985 | TCP | WS-Management / PowerShell HTTP |
| 5986 | TCP | WS-Management / PowerShell HTTPS |
Data Collection: Probes
Each probe collects data specific to its protocol or data source. You may configure custom ports as needed.
