01 Security

Is port 4305 dangerous?

We have no specific security note for port 4305. 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 4305, and is it reachable?

Linux

sudo ss -ltnup 'sport = :4305'      # process listening on 4305
sudo lsof -nP -i :4305

macOS

sudo lsof -nP -i :4305

Windows (PowerShell)

Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 4305 -State Listen | Select LocalAddress, OwningProcess
Get-NetUDPEndpoint -LocalPort 4305
netstat -ano | findstr :4305

From another machine

nmap -p 4305 -sV <host>
sudo nmap -sU -p 4305 <host>
nc -zv <host> 4305

Block it in the firewall

sudo ufw deny 4305/tcp                                         # Linux (ufw)
New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "Block 4305" -Direction Inbound -LocalPort 4305 -Protocol TCP -Action Block  # Windows
04 FAQ
What is port 4305 used for?

Port 4305 is assigned by IANA to batman (better approach to mobile ad-hoc networking).

Is port 4305 TCP or UDP?

Port 4305 is registered for TCP and UDP.

Is it safe to open port 4305?

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 4305 is open?

On Linux run "ss -ltnup 'sport = :4305'", on macOS "lsof -nP -i :4305", and on Windows "netstat -ano | findstr :4305" to see the local process. From another machine, "nmap -p 4305 <host>" shows whether it is reachable.
