Technical Details

what runs on :5167

SCTE 104 is the automation-to-compression-system interface used in broadcast operations. Messages carry commands such as splice requests and other program-signaling actions to an encoder or splicer. IANA assigns port 5167 for both TCP and UDP; TCP is the usual network transport in deployments. This is not a web protocol, and the service does not imply TLS or a general-purpose discovery handshake.

5/ 10caution

worth attention. how exposed you are depends on configuration — don't leave it reachable from the internet without a reason.

streaming averages 3.0 across 48 ports — this one sits 2.0 above.

udp is connectionless — source addresses are trivially spoofed and it is a reflection favourite

security overview

SCTE 104 can affect broadcast signaling and ad insertion, so an exposed endpoint could allow unwanted control messages if the device accepts them. The protocol is generally used on controlled broadcast networks rather than the public internet; restrict access to trusted automation systems and do not assume traffic is encrypted or authenticated by the transport.

assignment: iana registered
risk: 5/10caution
category: Streaming Media
usage: Broadcast automation systems use SCTE 104 to send control and splice-event messages to encoders or video splicers. It is part of broadcast ad-insertion workflows; SCTE 104 carries the commands, while SCTE 35 signaling is commonly emitted downstream in the transport stream.
