01 Security

Is port 7283 dangerous?

We have no specific security note for port 7283. 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 7283, and is it reachable?

Linux

sudo ss -ltnup 'sport = :7283'      # process listening on 7283
sudo lsof -nP -i :7283

macOS

sudo lsof -nP -i :7283

Windows (PowerShell)

Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 7283 -State Listen | Select LocalAddress, OwningProcess
Get-NetUDPEndpoint -LocalPort 7283
netstat -ano | findstr :7283

From another machine

nmap -p 7283 -sV <host>
nc -zv <host> 7283

Block it in the firewall

sudo ufw deny 7283/tcp                                         # Linux (ufw)

04 FAQ
What is port 7283 used for?

Port 7283 is assigned by IANA to genstat (General Statistics Rendezvous Protocol).

Is port 7283 TCP or UDP?

Port 7283 is registered for TCP.

Is it safe to open port 7283?

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 7283 is open?

On Linux run "ss -ltnup 'sport = :7283'", on macOS "lsof -nP -i :7283", and on Windows "netstat -ano | findstr :7283" to see the local process. From another machine, "nmap -p 7283 <host>" shows whether it is reachable.
