Internet TCP port 9200 is primarily used by Elasticsearch, an open-source, RESTful, distributed search and analytics engine. Elasticsearch uses this port to communicate and transfer data with other nodes in the cluster. Kibana, a data visualization plugin for Elasticsearch, also communicates with Elasticsearch through this port. Other software or systems may use this port, but its most common use is with Elasticsearch.
TCP port 9200 is typically used by Elasticsearch, an open-source search and analytics engine. In the past, hackers have exploited this port to gain unauthorized access to sensitive data. They have done this by taking advantage of misconfigured Elasticsearch instances that are exposed to the internet without proper security measures. Once they gain access, hackers can steal, modify, or delete data. They can also potentially execute arbitrary code on the server. In some cases, hackers have used this method to install ransomware or other malicious software.
