01 Security

Is port 5094 dangerous?

We have no specific security note for port 5094. Its risk depends on the program actually listening on it. General advice for iot & industrial (ics) services:

  • Industrial and IoT protocols often have no authentication: never expose them to the Internet.
  • Segment OT networks from IT and use protocol-aware firewalls.
  • Monitor with an ICS-aware intrusion detection system.

03 Check it

Which program uses port 5094, and is it reachable?

Linux

sudo ss -ltnup 'sport = :5094'      # process listening on 5094
sudo lsof -nP -i :5094

macOS

sudo lsof -nP -i :5094

Windows (PowerShell)

Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 5094 -State Listen | Select LocalAddress, OwningProcess
Get-NetUDPEndpoint -LocalPort 5094
netstat -ano | findstr :5094

From another machine

nmap -p 5094 -sV <host>
sudo nmap -sU -p 5094 <host>
nc -zv <host> 5094

Block it in the firewall

sudo ufw deny 5094/tcp                                         # Linux (ufw)
New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "Block 5094" -Direction Inbound -LocalPort 5094 -Protocol TCP -Action Block  # Windows
04 FAQ
What is port 5094 used for?

Port 5094 is assigned by IANA to hart-ip (HART-IP).

Is port 5094 TCP or UDP?

Port 5094 is registered for TCP and UDP.

Is it safe to open port 5094?

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. Industrial and IoT protocols often have no authentication: never expose them to the Internet.

How do I check if port 5094 is open?

On Linux run "ss -ltnup 'sport = :5094'", on macOS "lsof -nP -i :5094", and on Windows "netstat -ano | findstr :5094" to see the local process. From another machine, "nmap -p 5094 <host>" shows whether it is reachable.
