01 Security

Is port 5230 dangerous?

We have no specific security note for port 5230. 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 5230, and is it reachable?

Linux

sudo ss -ltnup 'sport = :5230'      # process listening on 5230
sudo lsof -nP -i :5230

macOS

sudo lsof -nP -i :5230

Windows (PowerShell)

Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 5230 -State Listen | Select LocalAddress, OwningProcess
Get-NetUDPEndpoint -LocalPort 5230
netstat -ano | findstr :5230

From another machine

nmap -p 5230 -sV <host>
nc -zv <host> 5230

Block it in the firewall

sudo ufw deny 5230/tcp                                         # Linux (ufw)
New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "Block 5230" -Direction Inbound -LocalPort 5230 -Protocol TCP -Action Block  # Windows
04 FAQ
What is port 5230 used for?

Port 5230 is assigned by IANA to jaxflow-data (JaxMP RealFlow application and protocol data).

Is port 5230 TCP or UDP?

Port 5230 is registered for TCP.

Is it safe to open port 5230?

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 5230 is open?

On Linux run "ss -ltnup 'sport = :5230'", on macOS "lsof -nP -i :5230", and on Windows "netstat -ano | findstr :5230" to see the local process. From another machine, "nmap -p 5230 <host>" shows whether it is reachable.
