9092 Apache Kafka

Kafka brokers use port 9092 for client traffic, producers, consumers, and cluster-adjacent integrations.

Security Context

Port 9092 is context-dependent. Its risk depends on the daemon behind it, whether the traffic is encrypted, and how tightly the listener is scoped to trusted networks.

Nmap Check

Use a version probe first so you confirm whether the expected service is really what is listening on this port.

nmap -sV -p 9092 <host>
