01 Security

Is port 9210 dangerous?

We have no specific security note for port 9210. 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 9210, and is it reachable?

Linux

sudo ss -ltnup 'sport = :9210'      # process listening on 9210
sudo lsof -nP -i :9210

macOS

sudo lsof -nP -i :9210

Windows (PowerShell)

Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 9210 -State Listen | Select LocalAddress, OwningProcess
Get-NetUDPEndpoint -LocalPort 9210
netstat -ano | findstr :9210

From another machine

nmap -p 9210 -sV <host>
sudo nmap -sU -p 9210 <host>
nc -zv <host> 9210

Block it in the firewall

sudo ufw deny 9210/tcp                                         # Linux (ufw)
New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "Block 9210" -Direction Inbound -LocalPort 9210 -Protocol TCP -Action Block  # Windows
04 FAQ
What is port 9210 used for?

Port 9210 is assigned by IANA to oma-mlp (OMA Mobile Location Protocol).

Is port 9210 TCP or UDP?

Port 9210 is registered for TCP and UDP.

Is it safe to open port 9210?

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 9210 is open?

On Linux run "ss -ltnup 'sport = :9210'", on macOS "lsof -nP -i :9210", and on Windows "netstat -ano | findstr :9210" to see the local process. From another machine, "nmap -p 9210 <host>" shows whether it is reachable.
