01 Security

Is port 8148 dangerous?

We have no specific security note for port 8148. Its risk depends on the program actually listening on it. General advice for file transfer & sharing services:

  • Prefer encrypted protocols (SFTP, FTPS, SMB 3 with encryption).
  • Disable anonymous access and restrict shares or exports to known hosts.
  • Never publish file sharing protocols to the Internet.

03 Check it

Which program uses port 8148, and is it reachable?

Linux

sudo ss -ltnup 'sport = :8148'      # process listening on 8148
sudo lsof -nP -i :8148

macOS

sudo lsof -nP -i :8148

Windows (PowerShell)

Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 8148 -State Listen | Select LocalAddress, OwningProcess
Get-NetUDPEndpoint -LocalPort 8148
netstat -ano | findstr :8148

From another machine

nmap -p 8148 -sV <host>
sudo nmap -sU -p 8148 <host>
nc -zv <host> 8148

Block it in the firewall

sudo ufw deny 8148/tcp                                         # Linux (ufw)
New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "Block 8148" -Direction Inbound -LocalPort 8148 -Protocol TCP -Action Block  # Windows
04 FAQ
What is port 8148 used for?

Port 8148 is assigned by IANA to isdd (i-SDD file transfer).

Is port 8148 TCP or UDP?

Port 8148 is registered for TCP and UDP.

Is it safe to open port 8148?

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. Prefer encrypted protocols (SFTP, FTPS, SMB 3 with encryption).

How do I check if port 8148 is open?

On Linux run "ss -ltnup 'sport = :8148'", on macOS "lsof -nP -i :8148", and on Windows "netstat -ano | findstr :8148" to see the local process. From another machine, "nmap -p 8148 <host>" shows whether it is reachable.
