Is port 5414 dangerous?

We have no specific security note for port 5414. 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 5414, and is it reachable?

Linux

sudo ss -ltnup 'sport = :5414'      # process listening on 5414
sudo lsof -nP -i :5414

macOS

sudo lsof -nP -i :5414

Windows (PowerShell)

Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 5414 -State Listen | Select LocalAddress, OwningProcess
Get-NetUDPEndpoint -LocalPort 5414
netstat -ano | findstr :5414

From another machine

nmap -p 5414 -sV <host>
sudo nmap -sU -p 5414 <host>
nc -zv <host> 5414

Block it in the firewall

sudo ufw deny 5414/tcp                                         # Linux (ufw)

What is port 5414 used for?

Port 5414 is assigned by IANA to statusd (StatusD).

Is port 5414 TCP or UDP?

Port 5414 is registered for TCP and UDP.

Is it safe to open port 5414?

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 5414 is open?

On Linux run "ss -ltnup 'sport = :5414'", on macOS "lsof -nP -i :5414", and on Windows "netstat -ano | findstr :5414" to see the local process. From another machine, "nmap -p 5414 <host>" shows whether it is reachable.
