Is port 6962 dangerous?

We have no specific security note for port 6962. 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 6962, and is it reachable?

Linux

sudo ss -ltnup 'sport = :6962'      # process listening on 6962
sudo lsof -nP -i :6962

macOS

sudo lsof -nP -i :6962

Windows (PowerShell)

Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 6962 -State Listen | Select LocalAddress, OwningProcess
Get-NetUDPEndpoint -LocalPort 6962
netstat -ano | findstr :6962

From another machine

nmap -p 6962 -sV <host>
sudo nmap -sU -p 6962 <host>
nc -zv <host> 6962

Block it in the firewall

sudo ufw deny 6962/tcp                                         # Linux (ufw)

What is port 6962 used for?

Port 6962 is assigned by IANA to jmevt2 (jmevt2).

Is port 6962 TCP or UDP?

Port 6962 is registered for TCP and UDP.

Is it safe to open port 6962?

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 6962 is open?

On Linux run "ss -ltnup 'sport = :6962'", on macOS "lsof -nP -i :6962", and on Windows "netstat -ano | findstr :6962" to see the local process. From another machine, "nmap -p 6962 <host>" shows whether it is reachable.
