  • 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 2922, and is it reachable?

Linux

sudo ss -ltnup 'sport = :2922'      # process listening on 2922
sudo lsof -nP -i :2922

macOS

sudo lsof -nP -i :2922

Windows (PowerShell)

Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 2922 -State Listen | Select LocalAddress, OwningProcess
Get-NetUDPEndpoint -LocalPort 2922
netstat -ano | findstr :2922

From another machine

nmap -p 2922 -sV <host>
sudo nmap -sU -p 2922 <host>
nc -zv <host> 2922

Block it in the firewall

sudo ufw deny 2922/tcp                                         # Linux (ufw)

On Linux run "ss -ltnup 'sport = :2922'", on macOS "lsof -nP -i :2922", and on Windows "netstat -ano | findstr :2922" to see the local process. From another machine, "nmap -p 2922 <host>" shows whether it is reachable.
