01 Security

Is port 10162 dangerous?

We have no specific security note for port 10162. Its risk depends on the program actually listening on it. General advice for monitoring & logging services:

  • Restrict management and monitoring protocols to the monitoring network.
  • Replace community strings and default credentials.
  • Send logs over TLS.

03 Check it

Which program uses port 10162, and is it reachable?

Linux

sudo ss -ltnup 'sport = :10162'      # process listening on 10162
sudo lsof -nP -i :10162

macOS

sudo lsof -nP -i :10162

Windows (PowerShell)

Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 10162 -State Listen | Select LocalAddress, OwningProcess
Get-NetUDPEndpoint -LocalPort 10162
netstat -ano | findstr :10162

From another machine

nmap -p 10162 -sV <host>
sudo nmap -sU -p 10162 <host>
nc -zv <host> 10162

Block it in the firewall

sudo ufw deny 10162/tcp                                         # Linux (ufw)
New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "Block 10162" -Direction Inbound -LocalPort 10162 -Protocol TCP -Action Block  # Windows
04 FAQ
What is port 10162 used for?

Port 10162 is assigned by IANA to snmpdtls-trap (SNMP-Trap-DTLS), snmptls-trap (SNMP-Trap-TLS).

Is port 10162 TCP or UDP?

Port 10162 is registered for UDP and TCP.

Is it safe to open port 10162?

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. Restrict management and monitoring protocols to the monitoring network.

How do I check if port 10162 is open?

On Linux run "ss -ltnup 'sport = :10162'", on macOS "lsof -nP -i :10162", and on Windows "netstat -ano | findstr :10162" to see the local process. From another machine, "nmap -p 10162 <host>" shows whether it is reachable.
