01 Security

Is port 11235 dangerous?

We have no specific security note for port 11235. 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 11235, and is it reachable?

Linux

sudo ss -ltnup 'sport = :11235'      # process listening on 11235
sudo lsof -nP -i :11235

macOS

sudo lsof -nP -i :11235

Windows (PowerShell)

Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 11235 -State Listen | Select LocalAddress, OwningProcess
Get-NetUDPEndpoint -LocalPort 11235
netstat -ano | findstr :11235

From another machine

nmap -p 11235 -sV <host>
nc -zv <host> 11235

Block it in the firewall

sudo ufw deny 11235/tcp                                         # Linux (ufw)
New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "Block 11235" -Direction Inbound -LocalPort 11235 -Protocol TCP -Action Block  # Windows
04 FAQ
What is port 11235 used for?

Port 11235 is assigned by IANA to xcompute (numerical systems messaging).

Is port 11235 TCP or UDP?

Port 11235 is registered for TCP and SCTP.

Is it safe to open port 11235?

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 11235 is open?

On Linux run "ss -ltnup 'sport = :11235'", on macOS "lsof -nP -i :11235", and on Windows "netstat -ano | findstr :11235" to see the local process. From another machine, "nmap -p 11235 <host>" shows whether it is reachable.
