01 Security

Is port 1449 dangerous?

We have no specific security note for port 1449. 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 1449, and is it reachable?

Linux

sudo ss -ltnup 'sport = :1449'      # process listening on 1449
sudo lsof -nP -i :1449

macOS

sudo lsof -nP -i :1449

Windows (PowerShell)

Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 1449 -State Listen | Select LocalAddress, OwningProcess
Get-NetUDPEndpoint -LocalPort 1449
netstat -ano | findstr :1449

From another machine

nmap -p 1449 -sV <host>
sudo nmap -sU -p 1449 <host>
nc -zv <host> 1449

Block it in the firewall

sudo ufw deny 1449/tcp                                         # Linux (ufw)
New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "Block 1449" -Direction Inbound -LocalPort 1449 -Protocol TCP -Action Block  # Windows
04 FAQ
What is port 1449 used for?

Port 1449 is assigned by IANA to peport (PEport).

Is port 1449 TCP or UDP?

Port 1449 is registered for TCP and UDP.

Is it safe to open port 1449?

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 1449 is open?

On Linux run "ss -ltnup 'sport = :1449'", on macOS "lsof -nP -i :1449", and on Windows "netstat -ano | findstr :1449" to see the local process. From another machine, "nmap -p 1449 <host>" shows whether it is reachable.
