Is port 1299 dangerous?

We have no specific security note for port 1299. 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 1299, and is it reachable?

Linux

sudo ss -ltnup 'sport = :1299'      # process listening on 1299
sudo lsof -nP -i :1299

macOS

sudo lsof -nP -i :1299

Windows (PowerShell)

Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 1299 -State Listen | Select LocalAddress, OwningProcess
Get-NetUDPEndpoint -LocalPort 1299
netstat -ano | findstr :1299

From another machine

nmap -p 1299 -sV <host>
sudo nmap -sU -p 1299 <host>
nc -zv <host> 1299

Block it in the firewall

sudo ufw deny 1299/tcp                                         # Linux (ufw)
New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "Block 1299" -Direction Inbound -LocalPort 1299 -Protocol TCP -Action Block  # Windows

What is port 1299 used for?

Port 1299 is assigned by IANA to hp-sci (hp-sci).

Is port 1299 TCP or UDP?

Port 1299 is registered for TCP and UDP.

Is it safe to open port 1299?

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 1299 is open?

On Linux run "ss -ltnup 'sport = :1299'", on macOS "lsof -nP -i :1299", and on Windows "netstat -ano | findstr :1299" to see the local process. From another machine, "nmap -p 1299 <host>" shows whether it is reachable.
