01 Security

Is port 1035 dangerous?

We have no specific security note for port 1035. Its risk depends on the program actually listening on it. General advice for network services services:

  • Answer only the networks that need the service (no open resolvers, relays or reflectors).
  • UDP services can be abused for DDoS amplification: rate-limit or block them at the edge.
  • Disable legacy test services that have no use in production.

03 Check it

Which program uses port 1035, and is it reachable?

Linux

sudo ss -ltnup 'sport = :1035'      # process listening on 1035
sudo lsof -nP -i :1035

macOS

sudo lsof -nP -i :1035

Windows (PowerShell)

Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 1035 -State Listen | Select LocalAddress, OwningProcess
Get-NetUDPEndpoint -LocalPort 1035
netstat -ano | findstr :1035

From another machine

nmap -p 1035 -sV <host>
sudo nmap -sU -p 1035 <host>
nc -zv <host> 1035

Block it in the firewall

sudo ufw deny 1035/tcp                                         # Linux (ufw)
New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "Block 1035" -Direction Inbound -LocalPort 1035 -Protocol TCP -Action Block  # Windows
04 FAQ
What is port 1035 used for?

Port 1035 is assigned by IANA to mxxrlogin (MX-XR RPC).

Is port 1035 TCP or UDP?

Port 1035 is registered for TCP and UDP.

Is it safe to open port 1035?

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. Answer only the networks that need the service (no open resolvers, relays or reflectors).

How do I check if port 1035 is open?

On Linux run "ss -ltnup 'sport = :1035'", on macOS "lsof -nP -i :1035", and on Windows "netstat -ano | findstr :1035" to see the local process. From another machine, "nmap -p 1035 <host>" shows whether it is reachable.
