01 Security

Is port 5106 dangerous?

We have no specific security note for port 5106. 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 5106, and is it reachable?

Linux

sudo ss -ltnup 'sport = :5106'      # process listening on 5106
sudo lsof -nP -i :5106

macOS

sudo lsof -nP -i :5106

Windows (PowerShell)

Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 5106 -State Listen | Select LocalAddress, OwningProcess
Get-NetUDPEndpoint -LocalPort 5106
netstat -ano | findstr :5106

From another machine

nmap -p 5106 -sV <host>
nc -zv <host> 5106

Block it in the firewall

sudo ufw deny 5106/tcp                                         # Linux (ufw)
New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "Block 5106" -Direction Inbound -LocalPort 5106 -Protocol TCP -Action Block  # Windows
04 FAQ
What is port 5106 used for?

Port 5106 is assigned by IANA to actifioudsagent (Actifio UDS Agent).

Is port 5106 TCP or UDP?

Port 5106 is registered for TCP.

Is it safe to open port 5106?

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 5106 is open?

On Linux run "ss -ltnup 'sport = :5106'", on macOS "lsof -nP -i :5106", and on Windows "netstat -ano | findstr :5106" to see the local process. From another machine, "nmap -p 5106 <host>" shows whether it is reachable.
