01 Security

Is port 4065 dangerous?

We have no specific security note for port 4065. 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 4065, and is it reachable?

Linux

sudo ss -ltnup 'sport = :4065'      # process listening on 4065
sudo lsof -nP -i :4065

macOS

sudo lsof -nP -i :4065

Windows (PowerShell)

Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 4065 -State Listen | Select LocalAddress, OwningProcess
Get-NetUDPEndpoint -LocalPort 4065
netstat -ano | findstr :4065

From another machine

nmap -p 4065 -sV <host>
sudo nmap -sU -p 4065 <host>
nc -zv <host> 4065

Block it in the firewall

sudo ufw deny 4065/tcp                                         # Linux (ufw)

Is port 4065 TCP or UDP?

Port 4065 is registered for TCP and UDP.

Is it safe to open port 4065?

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 4065 is open?

On Linux run "ss -ltnup 'sport = :4065'", on macOS "lsof -nP -i :4065", and on Windows "netstat -ano | findstr :4065" to see the local process. From another machine, "nmap -p 4065 <host>" shows whether it is reachable.
