Caido

Changing the Listening Address/Port ​

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

However, you can change the listening address and port to suit your needs. There are two ways to change the listening address, depending on whether you are using the CLI or the desktop application.

WARNING

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

Changing the Listening Address/Port: CLI ​

When using the CLI, you can update the listening address by using the -l or --listen option followed by the desired address and port in the format ADDR:PORT.

Example: to listen on all available network interfaces on port 8000, use the following command:

caido -l 0.0.0.0:8000
