01 Security

Is port 28080 dangerous?

We have no specific security note for port 28080. 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 28080, and is it reachable?

Linux

sudo ss -ltnup 'sport = :28080'      # process listening on 28080
sudo lsof -nP -i :28080

macOS

sudo lsof -nP -i :28080

Windows (PowerShell)

Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 28080 -State Listen | Select LocalAddress, OwningProcess
Get-NetUDPEndpoint -LocalPort 28080
netstat -ano | findstr :28080

From another machine

nmap -p 28080 -sV <host>
nc -zv <host> 28080

Block it in the firewall

sudo ufw deny 28080/tcp                                         # Linux (ufw)
New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "Block 28080" -Direction Inbound -LocalPort 28080 -Protocol TCP -Action Block  # Windows
04 FAQ
What is port 28080 used for?

Port 28080 is assigned by IANA to thor-engine (thor/server - ML engine).

Is port 28080 TCP or UDP?

Port 28080 is registered for TCP.

Is it safe to open port 28080?

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 28080 is open?

On Linux run "ss -ltnup 'sport = :28080'", on macOS "lsof -nP -i :28080", and on Windows "netstat -ano | findstr :28080" to see the local process. From another machine, "nmap -p 28080 <host>" shows whether it is reachable.
