01 Security

Is port 10288 dangerous?

We have no specific security note for port 10288. 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 10288, and is it reachable?

Linux

sudo ss -ltnup 'sport = :10288'      # process listening on 10288
sudo lsof -nP -i :10288

macOS

sudo lsof -nP -i :10288

Windows (PowerShell)

Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 10288 -State Listen | Select LocalAddress, OwningProcess
Get-NetUDPEndpoint -LocalPort 10288
netstat -ano | findstr :10288

From another machine

nmap -p 10288 -sV <host>
sudo nmap -sU -p 10288 <host>
nc -zv <host> 10288

Block it in the firewall

sudo ufw deny 10288/tcp                                         # Linux (ufw)
New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "Block 10288" -Direction Inbound -LocalPort 10288 -Protocol TCP -Action Block  # Windows
04 FAQ
What is port 10288 used for?

Port 10288 is assigned by IANA to blocks (Blocks).

Is port 10288 TCP or UDP?

Port 10288 is registered for TCP and UDP.

Is it safe to open port 10288?

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 10288 is open?

On Linux run "ss -ltnup 'sport = :10288'", on macOS "lsof -nP -i :10288", and on Windows "netstat -ano | findstr :10288" to see the local process. From another machine, "nmap -p 10288 <host>" shows whether it is reachable.
