The client opens a session to port 5024: each command typed is sent to the server, which runs it and returns the output.

01 Security

Is port 5024 dangerous?

We have no specific security note for port 5024. Its risk depends on the program actually listening on it. General advice for remote access services:

  • Do not expose remote administration directly: use a VPN or a zero-trust access proxy.
  • Require MFA or key-based authentication and lock out brute-force attempts.
  • Log every login and alert on new source addresses.

03 Check it

Which program uses port 5024, and is it reachable?

Linux

sudo ss -ltnup 'sport = :5024'      # process listening on 5024
sudo lsof -nP -i :5024

macOS

sudo lsof -nP -i :5024

Windows (PowerShell)

Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 5024 -State Listen | Select LocalAddress, OwningProcess
Get-NetUDPEndpoint -LocalPort 5024
netstat -ano | findstr :5024

From another machine

nmap -p 5024 -sV <host>
sudo nmap -sU -p 5024 <host>
nc -zv <host> 5024

Block it in the firewall

sudo ufw deny 5024/tcp                                         # Linux (ufw)
New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "Block 5024" -Direction Inbound -LocalPort 5024 -Protocol TCP -Action Block  # Windows
04 FAQ
What is port 5024 used for?

Port 5024 is assigned by IANA to scpi-telnet (SCPI-TELNET).

Is port 5024 TCP or UDP?

Port 5024 is registered for TCP and UDP.

Is it safe to open port 5024?

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. Do not expose remote administration directly: use a VPN or a zero-trust access proxy.

How do I check if port 5024 is open?

On Linux run "ss -ltnup 'sport = :5024'", on macOS "lsof -nP -i :5024", and on Windows "netstat -ano | findstr :5024" to see the local process. From another machine, "nmap -p 5024 <host>" shows whether it is reachable.
