01 Security

Is port 1192 dangerous?

We have no specific security note for port 1192. 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 1192, and is it reachable?

Linux

sudo ss -ltnup 'sport = :1192'      # process listening on 1192
sudo lsof -nP -i :1192

macOS

sudo lsof -nP -i :1192

Windows (PowerShell)

Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 1192 -State Listen | Select LocalAddress, OwningProcess
Get-NetUDPEndpoint -LocalPort 1192
netstat -ano | findstr :1192

From another machine

nmap -p 1192 -sV <host>
sudo nmap -sU -p 1192 <host>
nc -zv <host> 1192

Block it in the firewall

sudo ufw deny 1192/tcp                                         # Linux (ufw)
New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "Block 1192" -Direction Inbound -LocalPort 1192 -Protocol TCP -Action Block  # Windows
04 FAQ
What is port 1192 used for?

Port 1192 is assigned by IANA to caids-sensor (caids sensors channel).

Is port 1192 TCP or UDP?

Port 1192 is registered for TCP and UDP.

Is it safe to open port 1192?

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 1192 is open?

On Linux run "ss -ltnup 'sport = :1192'", on macOS "lsof -nP -i :1192", and on Windows "netstat -ano | findstr :1192" to see the local process. From another machine, "nmap -p 1192 <host>" shows whether it is reachable.
