Is port 10261 dangerous?

We have no specific security note for port 10261. 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 10261, and is it reachable?

Linux

sudo ss -ltnup 'sport = :10261'      # process listening on 10261
sudo lsof -nP -i :10261

macOS

sudo lsof -nP -i :10261

Windows (PowerShell)

Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 10261 -State Listen | Select LocalAddress, OwningProcess
Get-NetUDPEndpoint -LocalPort 10261
netstat -ano | findstr :10261

From another machine

nmap -p 10261 -sV <host>
nc -zv <host> 10261

Block it in the firewall

sudo ufw deny 10261/tcp                                         # Linux (ufw)

04 FAQ
What is port 10261 used for?

Port 10261 is assigned by IANA to tile-ml (Tile remote machine learning).

Is port 10261 TCP or UDP?

Port 10261 is registered for TCP.

Is it safe to open port 10261?

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 10261 is open?

On Linux run "ss -ltnup 'sport = :10261'", on macOS "lsof -nP -i :10261", and on Windows "netstat -ano | findstr :10261" to see the local process. From another machine, "nmap -p 10261 <host>" shows whether it is reachable.
