Port 10000
Webmin
Webmin is a web-based system configuration tool designed for Unix-like systems, allowing administrators to manage server functions through an intuitive web interface rather than command-line operations..
Technical Details
Webmin operates as a lightweight web server typically listening on TCP port 10000, providing graphical access to configure various services such as DNS, DHCP, file sharing, system users and groups, and more. It supports a modular architecture, enabling administrators to extend its functionality with additional modules tailored for specific tasks.
Communicating through a standard web browser, Webmin can operate over HTTP or optionally configured with HTTPS when SSL is enabled, although by default, encryption may not be enforced. This browser-based access significantly simplifies system administration, especially on headless servers or remotely administered systems.
The service interacts directly with system configuration files and commands, abstracting complex configurations into user-friendly forms. It relies on Perl CGI scripts on the backend, and its modular nature makes it adaptable across various Unix variants such as Linux, Solaris, and free BSD derivatives.
