01 Security

Is port 622 dangerous?

We have no specific security note for port 622. 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 622, and is it reachable?

Linux

sudo ss -ltnup 'sport = :622'      # process listening on 622
sudo lsof -nP -i :622

macOS

sudo lsof -nP -i :622

Windows (PowerShell)

Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 622 -State Listen | Select LocalAddress, OwningProcess
Get-NetUDPEndpoint -LocalPort 622
netstat -ano | findstr :622

From another machine

nmap -p 622 -sV <host>
sudo nmap -sU -p 622 <host>
nc -zv <host> 622

Block it in the firewall

sudo ufw deny 622/tcp                                         # Linux (ufw)
New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "Block 622" -Direction Inbound -LocalPort 622 -Protocol TCP -Action Block  # Windows
04 FAQ
What is port 622 used for?

Port 622 is assigned by IANA to collaborator (Collaborator).

Is port 622 TCP or UDP?

Port 622 is registered for TCP and UDP.

Is it safe to open port 622?

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 622 is open?

On Linux run "ss -ltnup 'sport = :622'", on macOS "lsof -nP -i :622", and on Windows "netstat -ano | findstr :622" to see the local process. From another machine, "nmap -p 622 <host>" shows whether it is reachable.
