Is port 2014 dangerous?

We have no specific security note for port 2014. 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 2014, and is it reachable?

Linux

sudo ss -ltnup 'sport = :2014'      # process listening on 2014
sudo lsof -nP -i :2014

macOS

sudo lsof -nP -i :2014

Windows (PowerShell)

Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 2014 -State Listen | Select LocalAddress, OwningProcess
Get-NetUDPEndpoint -LocalPort 2014
netstat -ano | findstr :2014

From another machine

nmap -p 2014 -sV <host>
sudo nmap -sU -p 2014 <host>
nc -zv <host> 2014

Block it in the firewall

sudo ufw deny 2014/tcp                                         # Linux (ufw)
New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "Block 2014" -Direction Inbound -LocalPort 2014 -Protocol TCP -Action Block  # Windows
04 FAQ
What is port 2014 used for?

Port 2014 is assigned by IANA to raid-sf (), troff ().

Is port 2014 TCP or UDP?

Port 2014 is registered for UDP and TCP.

Is it safe to open port 2014?

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 2014 is open?

On Linux run "ss -ltnup 'sport = :2014'", on macOS "lsof -nP -i :2014", and on Windows "netstat -ano | findstr :2014" to see the local process. From another machine, "nmap -p 2014 <host>" shows whether it is reachable.
