# Pentesting CouchDB (port 5984)
## When to Use
- Default `5984/tcp` (HTTP API), `6984/tcp` (HTTPS); cluster mode adds node-local `5986`, and Erlang EPMD on `4369`.
- Document-oriented database driven entirely by a **REST/HTTP API**; each document has an `_id` and revision `_rev`.
- Use whenever 5984 is reachable — older CouchDB runs in "admin party" (no admins) and exposes everything.
## Quick Enumeration
```bash
# Welcome banner + version
curl http://<IP>:5984/
# {"couchdb":"Welcome","version":"2.0.0","vendor":{"name":"The Apache Software Foundation"}}
