01 Security

Is port 7508 dangerous?

We have no specific security note for port 7508. 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 7508, and is it reachable?

Linux

sudo ss -ltnup 'sport = :7508'      # process listening on 7508
sudo lsof -nP -i :7508

macOS

sudo lsof -nP -i :7508

Windows (PowerShell)

Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 7508 -State Listen | Select LocalAddress, OwningProcess
Get-NetUDPEndpoint -LocalPort 7508
netstat -ano | findstr :7508

From another machine

nmap -p 7508 -sV <host>
nc -zv <host> 7508

Block it in the firewall

sudo ufw deny 7508/tcp                                         # Linux (ufw)
New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "Block 7508" -Direction Inbound -LocalPort 7508 -Protocol TCP -Action Block  # Windows
04 FAQ
What is port 7508 used for?

Port 7508 is assigned by IANA to adcp (Automation Device Configuration Protocol).

Is port 7508 TCP or UDP?

Port 7508 is registered for TCP.

Is it safe to open port 7508?

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 7508 is open?

On Linux run "ss -ltnup 'sport = :7508'", on macOS "lsof -nP -i :7508", and on Windows "netstat -ano | findstr :7508" to see the local process. From another machine, "nmap -p 7508 <host>" shows whether it is reachable.
