01 Security

Is port 1262 dangerous?

We have no specific security note for port 1262. 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 1262, and is it reachable?

Linux

sudo ss -ltnup 'sport = :1262'      # process listening on 1262
sudo lsof -nP -i :1262

macOS

sudo lsof -nP -i :1262

Windows (PowerShell)

Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 1262 -State Listen | Select LocalAddress, OwningProcess
Get-NetUDPEndpoint -LocalPort 1262
netstat -ano | findstr :1262

From another machine

nmap -p 1262 -sV <host>
sudo nmap -sU -p 1262 <host>
nc -zv <host> 1262

Block it in the firewall

sudo ufw deny 1262/tcp                                         # Linux (ufw)
New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "Block 1262" -Direction Inbound -LocalPort 1262 -Protocol TCP -Action Block  # Windows
04 FAQ
What is port 1262 used for?

Port 1262 is assigned by IANA to qnts-orb (QNTS-ORB).

Is port 1262 TCP or UDP?

Port 1262 is registered for TCP and UDP.

Is it safe to open port 1262?

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 1262 is open?

On Linux run "ss -ltnup 'sport = :1262'", on macOS "lsof -nP -i :1262", and on Windows "netstat -ano | findstr :1262" to see the local process. From another machine, "nmap -p 1262 <host>" shows whether it is reachable.
