01 Security

Is port 1375 dangerous?

We have no specific security note for port 1375. 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 1375, and is it reachable?

Linux

sudo ss -ltnup 'sport = :1375'      # process listening on 1375
sudo lsof -nP -i :1375

macOS

sudo lsof -nP -i :1375

Windows (PowerShell)

Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 1375 -State Listen | Select LocalAddress, OwningProcess
Get-NetUDPEndpoint -LocalPort 1375
netstat -ano | findstr :1375

From another machine

nmap -p 1375 -sV <host>
sudo nmap -sU -p 1375 <host>
nc -zv <host> 1375

Block it in the firewall

sudo ufw deny 1375/tcp                                         # Linux (ufw)

04 FAQ
What is port 1375 used for?

Port 1375 is assigned by IANA to bytex (Bytex).

Is port 1375 TCP or UDP?

Port 1375 is registered for TCP and UDP.

Is it safe to open port 1375?

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 1375 is open?

On Linux run "ss -ltnup 'sport = :1375'", on macOS "lsof -nP -i :1375", and on Windows "netstat -ano | findstr :1375" to see the local process. From another machine, "nmap -p 1375 <host>" shows whether it is reachable.
