01 Security

Is port 2010 dangerous?

We have no specific security note for port 2010. 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 2010, and is it reachable?

Linux

sudo ss -ltnup 'sport = :2010'      # process listening on 2010
sudo lsof -nP -i :2010

macOS

sudo lsof -nP -i :2010

Windows (PowerShell)

Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 2010 -State Listen | Select LocalAddress, OwningProcess
Get-NetUDPEndpoint -LocalPort 2010
netstat -ano | findstr :2010

From another machine

nmap -p 2010 -sV <host>
sudo nmap -sU -p 2010 <host>
nc -zv <host> 2010

Block it in the firewall

sudo ufw deny 2010/tcp                                         # Linux (ufw)
New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "Block 2010" -Direction Inbound -LocalPort 2010 -Protocol TCP -Action Block  # Windows
04 FAQ
What is port 2010 used for?

Port 2010 is assigned by IANA to pipe_server (), pipe-server (IANA assigned this well-formed service name as a replacement for "pipe_server".), search ().

Is port 2010 TCP or UDP?

Port 2010 is registered for UDP and TCP.

Is it safe to open port 2010?

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 2010 is open?

On Linux run "ss -ltnup 'sport = :2010'", on macOS "lsof -nP -i :2010", and on Windows "netstat -ano | findstr :2010" to see the local process. From another machine, "nmap -p 2010 <host>" shows whether it is reachable.
