01 Security

Is port 9083 dangerous?

We have no specific security note for port 9083. 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 9083, and is it reachable?

Linux

sudo ss -ltnup 'sport = :9083'      # process listening on 9083
sudo lsof -nP -i :9083

macOS

sudo lsof -nP -i :9083

Windows (PowerShell)

Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 9083 -State Listen | Select LocalAddress, OwningProcess
Get-NetUDPEndpoint -LocalPort 9083
netstat -ano | findstr :9083

From another machine

nmap -p 9083 -sV <host>
nc -zv <host> 9083

Block it in the firewall

sudo ufw deny 9083/tcp                                         # Linux (ufw)
New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "Block 9083" -Direction Inbound -LocalPort 9083 -Protocol TCP -Action Block  # Windows
04 FAQ
What is port 9083 used for?

Port 9083 is assigned by IANA to emc-pp-mgmtsvc (EMC PowerPath Mgmt Service).

Is port 9083 TCP or UDP?

Port 9083 is registered for TCP.

Is it safe to open port 9083?

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 9083 is open?

On Linux run "ss -ltnup 'sport = :9083'", on macOS "lsof -nP -i :9083", and on Windows "netstat -ano | findstr :9083" to see the local process. From another machine, "nmap -p 9083 <host>" shows whether it is reachable.
