Is port 10260 dangerous?

We have no specific security note for port 10260. 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 10260, and is it reachable?

Linux

sudo ss -ltnup 'sport = :10260'      # process listening on 10260
sudo lsof -nP -i :10260

macOS

sudo lsof -nP -i :10260

Windows (PowerShell)

Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 10260 -State Listen | Select LocalAddress, OwningProcess
Get-NetUDPEndpoint -LocalPort 10260
netstat -ano | findstr :10260

From another machine

nmap -p 10260 -sV <host>
sudo nmap -sU -p 10260 <host>
nc -zv <host> 10260

Block it in the firewall

sudo ufw deny 10260/tcp                                         # Linux (ufw)

04 FAQ
What is port 10260 used for?

Port 10260 is assigned by IANA to axis-wimp-port (Axis WIMP Port).

Is port 10260 TCP or UDP?

Port 10260 is registered for TCP and UDP.

Is it safe to open port 10260?

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 10260 is open?

On Linux run "ss -ltnup 'sport = :10260'", on macOS "lsof -nP -i :10260", and on Windows "netstat -ano | findstr :10260" to see the local process. From another machine, "nmap -p 10260 <host>" shows whether it is reachable.
