01 Security

Is port 1404 dangerous?

We have no specific security note for port 1404. 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 1404, and is it reachable?

Linux

sudo ss -ltnup 'sport = :1404'      # process listening on 1404
sudo lsof -nP -i :1404

macOS

sudo lsof -nP -i :1404

Windows (PowerShell)

Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 1404 -State Listen | Select LocalAddress, OwningProcess
Get-NetUDPEndpoint -LocalPort 1404
netstat -ano | findstr :1404

From another machine

nmap -p 1404 -sV <host>
sudo nmap -sU -p 1404 <host>
nc -zv <host> 1404

Block it in the firewall

sudo ufw deny 1404/tcp                                         # Linux (ufw)
New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "Block 1404" -Direction Inbound -LocalPort 1404 -Protocol TCP -Action Block  # Windows
04 FAQ
What is port 1404 used for?

Port 1404 is assigned by IANA to igi-lm (Infinite Graphics License Manager).

Is port 1404 TCP or UDP?

Port 1404 is registered for TCP and UDP.

Is it safe to open port 1404?

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 1404 is open?

On Linux run "ss -ltnup 'sport = :1404'", on macOS "lsof -nP -i :1404", and on Windows "netstat -ano | findstr :1404" to see the local process. From another machine, "nmap -p 1404 <host>" shows whether it is reachable.
