Caido

Changing the Listening Address/Port ​

By default, Caido listens on the IP address 127.0.0.1 and port 8080. This means that Caido will only be accessible from the same device it is running on.

WARNING

Please note that if you change the listening address to something other than 127.0.0.1, Caido will be accessible from any device on the network, so it is important to consider the security implications of doing so.

Caido CLI ​

To change the listening address/port with the Caido CLI, launch Caido with the -l <address:port> or --listen <address:port> argument.

For example, to listen on all available network interfaces on port 8000, enter:

caido -l 0.0.0.0:8000

Desktop Application ​

To change the listening address/port within the Caido desktop application, in the launch window, click on the button attached to an instance and select Edit.

The Edit instance option.

Then, either:

  • Click on a radio button under Listening addresses to select Localhost (127.0.0.1) or All interfaces (0.0.0.0).
  • Or click on the radio button for the Custom option and type in an address. Next, type a port number in the Listening port input field.
The Edit instance option.

Once you have defined the listening address/port, click on the Save button to update and save the configuration.
