What Is Using Port 5000 On My Mac?

Turns out it’s ControlCentre - because by default macs are set up as AirPlay receivers.

$ sudo lsof +c0 -nP -i4TCP:5000 | rg LISTEN
ControlCenter 698 yaleman   10u  IPv4 0x431cfa88f6905b65      0t0  TCP *:5000 (LISTEN)

Go into System Settings -> General -> Airdrop & Handoff and turn off “AirPlay Receiver”. You can also just search for “airplay”.

Airplay Settings

$ sudo lsof +c0 -nP -i4TCP:5000 | rg LISTEN | wc -l
0

Fixed!
