01 Security

Is port 10006 dangerous?

We have no specific security note for port 10006. Its risk depends on the program actually listening on it. General advice for other services services:

  • Close the port if nothing on the host needs it.
  • Identify the process that listens on it (commands below) before opening it in a firewall.
  • Expose a service only to the networks that use it.

03 Check it

Which program uses port 10006, and is it reachable?

Linux

sudo ss -ltnup 'sport = :10006'      # process listening on 10006
sudo lsof -nP -i :10006

macOS

sudo lsof -nP -i :10006

Windows (PowerShell)

Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 10006 -State Listen | Select LocalAddress, OwningProcess
Get-NetUDPEndpoint -LocalPort 10006
netstat -ano | findstr :10006

From another machine

nmap -p 10006 -sV <host>
nc -zv <host> 10006

Block it in the firewall

sudo ufw deny 10006/tcp                                         # Linux (ufw)
New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "Block 10006" -Direction Inbound -LocalPort 10006 -Protocol TCP -Action Block  # Windows
04 FAQ
What is port 10006 used for?

Port 10006 is assigned by IANA to netapp-sync (Sync replication protocol among different NetApp platforms).

Is port 10006 TCP or UDP?

Port 10006 is registered for TCP.

Is it safe to open port 10006?

It depends on the program that listens on it. Open it only for a service you know and only to the networks that need it. Close the port if nothing on the host needs it.

How do I check if port 10006 is open?

On Linux run "ss -ltnup 'sport = :10006'", on macOS "lsof -nP -i :10006", and on Windows "netstat -ano | findstr :10006" to see the local process. From another machine, "nmap -p 10006 <host>" shows whether it is reachable.
