01 Security

Is port 1504 dangerous?

We have no specific security note for port 1504. 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 1504, and is it reachable?

Linux

sudo ss -ltnup 'sport = :1504'      # process listening on 1504
sudo lsof -nP -i :1504

macOS

sudo lsof -nP -i :1504

Windows (PowerShell)

Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 1504 -State Listen | Select LocalAddress, OwningProcess
Get-NetUDPEndpoint -LocalPort 1504
netstat -ano | findstr :1504

From another machine

nmap -p 1504 -sV <host>
sudo nmap -sU -p 1504 <host>
nc -zv <host> 1504

Block it in the firewall

sudo ufw deny 1504/tcp                                         # Linux (ufw)
New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "Block 1504" -Direction Inbound -LocalPort 1504 -Protocol TCP -Action Block  # Windows
04 FAQ
What is port 1504 used for?

Port 1504 is assigned by IANA to evb-elm (EVB Software Engineering License Manager).

Is port 1504 TCP or UDP?

Port 1504 is registered for TCP and UDP.

Is it safe to open port 1504?

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 1504 is open?

On Linux run "ss -ltnup 'sport = :1504'", on macOS "lsof -nP -i :1504", and on Windows "netstat -ano | findstr :1504" to see the local process. From another machine, "nmap -p 1504 <host>" shows whether it is reachable.
