01 Security

Is port 5315 dangerous?

We have no specific security note for port 5315. Its risk depends on the program actually listening on it. General advice for devops, cloud & containers services:

  • Container and orchestration APIs give full control of hosts: require mutual TLS and RBAC.
  • Never expose them to the Internet.
  • Rotate tokens and certificates and audit who has access.

03 Check it

Which program uses port 5315, and is it reachable?

Linux

sudo ss -ltnup 'sport = :5315'      # process listening on 5315
sudo lsof -nP -i :5315

macOS

sudo lsof -nP -i :5315

Windows (PowerShell)

Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 5315 -State Listen | Select LocalAddress, OwningProcess
Get-NetUDPEndpoint -LocalPort 5315
netstat -ano | findstr :5315

From another machine

nmap -p 5315 -sV <host>
sudo nmap -sU -p 5315 <host>
nc -zv <host> 5315

Block it in the firewall

sudo ufw deny 5315/tcp                                         # Linux (ufw)
New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "Block 5315" -Direction Inbound -LocalPort 5315 -Protocol TCP -Action Block  # Windows
04 FAQ
What is port 5315 used for?

Port 5315 is assigned by IANA to hacl-poll (HA Cluster UDP Polling).

Is port 5315 TCP or UDP?

Port 5315 is registered for TCP and UDP.

Is it safe to open port 5315?

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. Container and orchestration APIs give full control of hosts: require mutual TLS and RBAC.

How do I check if port 5315 is open?

On Linux run "ss -ltnup 'sport = :5315'", on macOS "lsof -nP -i :5315", and on Windows "netstat -ano | findstr :5315" to see the local process. From another machine, "nmap -p 5315 <host>" shows whether it is reachable.
