01 Security

Is port 4167 dangerous?

We have no specific security note for port 4167. 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 4167, and is it reachable?

Linux

sudo ss -ltnup 'sport = :4167'      # process listening on 4167
sudo lsof -nP -i :4167

macOS

sudo lsof -nP -i :4167

Windows (PowerShell)

Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 4167 -State Listen | Select LocalAddress, OwningProcess
Get-NetUDPEndpoint -LocalPort 4167
netstat -ano | findstr :4167

From another machine

nmap -p 4167 -sV <host>
sudo nmap -sU -p 4167 <host>
nc -zv <host> 4167

Block it in the firewall

sudo ufw deny 4167/tcp                                         # Linux (ufw)
New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "Block 4167" -Direction Inbound -LocalPort 4167 -Protocol TCP -Action Block  # Windows
04 FAQ
What is port 4167 used for?

Port 4167 is assigned by IANA to ddgn (DeskDirect Global Network).

Is port 4167 TCP or UDP?

Port 4167 is registered for TCP and UDP.

Is it safe to open port 4167?

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 4167 is open?

On Linux run "ss -ltnup 'sport = :4167'", on macOS "lsof -nP -i :4167", and on Windows "netstat -ano | findstr :4167" to see the local process. From another machine, "nmap -p 4167 <host>" shows whether it is reachable.
