01 Security

Is port 7244 dangerous?

We have no specific security note for port 7244. 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 7244, and is it reachable?

Linux

sudo ss -ltnup 'sport = :7244'      # process listening on 7244
sudo lsof -nP -i :7244

macOS

sudo lsof -nP -i :7244

Windows (PowerShell)

Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 7244 -State Listen | Select LocalAddress, OwningProcess
Get-NetUDPEndpoint -LocalPort 7244
netstat -ano | findstr :7244

From another machine

nmap -p 7244 -sV <host>
sudo nmap -sU -p 7244 <host>
nc -zv <host> 7244

Block it in the firewall

sudo ufw deny 7244/tcp                                         # Linux (ufw)

04 FAQ
What is port 7244 used for?

Port 7244 is assigned by IANA to frc-hicp (FrontRow Calypso Human Interface Control Protocol), frc-hicp-disc (FrontRow Calypso Human Interface Control Protocol).

Is port 7244 TCP or UDP?

Port 7244 is registered for TCP and UDP.

Is it safe to open port 7244?

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 7244 is open?

On Linux run "ss -ltnup 'sport = :7244'", on macOS "lsof -nP -i :7244", and on Windows "netstat -ano | findstr :7244" to see the local process. From another machine, "nmap -p 7244 <host>" shows whether it is reachable.
