Is port 6065 dangerous?

We have no specific security note for port 6065. 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 6065, and is it reachable?

Linux

sudo ss -ltnup 'sport = :6065'      # process listening on 6065
sudo lsof -nP -i :6065

macOS

sudo lsof -nP -i :6065

Windows (PowerShell)

Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 6065 -State Listen | Select LocalAddress, OwningProcess
Get-NetUDPEndpoint -LocalPort 6065
netstat -ano | findstr :6065

From another machine

nmap -p 6065 -sV <host>
sudo nmap -sU -p 6065 <host>
nc -zv <host> 6065

Block it in the firewall

sudo ufw deny 6065/tcp                                         # Linux (ufw)
New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "Block 6065" -Direction Inbound -LocalPort 6065 -Protocol TCP -Action Block  # Windows

What is port 6065 used for?

Port 6065 is assigned by IANA to winpharaoh (WinPharaoh).

Is port 6065 TCP or UDP?

Port 6065 is registered for TCP and UDP.

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 6065 is open?

On Linux run "ss -ltnup 'sport = :6065'", on macOS "lsof -nP -i :6065", and on Windows "netstat -ano | findstr :6065" to see the local process. From another machine, "nmap -p 6065 <host>" shows whether it is reachable.
