Open Memcached Report

This report identifies hosts that have the Memcached key-value store running and accessible on the Internet.

Since this service does not support authentication, any entity that can access the Memcached instance can have complete control over the key-value store. In addition, instances of Memcached that are accessible via UDP may be abused in amplification-style denial of service attacks.

See memcached.org for more information about Memcached.

For more details behind the scan methodology and a daily update of global Memcached scan statistics please visit our dedicated Memcached scan page.
