01 Security

Is port 12008 dangerous?

We have no specific security note for port 12008. Its risk depends on the program actually listening on it. General advice for databases & caches services:

  • Bind the service to localhost or a private network, never to a public address.
  • Enable authentication, use per-application accounts and require TLS.
  • Watch for exposed Docker ports: publish them on 127.0.0.1 only.

03 Check it

Which program uses port 12008, and is it reachable?

Linux

sudo ss -ltnup 'sport = :12008'      # process listening on 12008
sudo lsof -nP -i :12008

macOS

sudo lsof -nP -i :12008

Windows (PowerShell)

Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 12008 -State Listen | Select LocalAddress, OwningProcess
Get-NetUDPEndpoint -LocalPort 12008
netstat -ano | findstr :12008

From another machine

nmap -p 12008 -sV <host>
sudo nmap -sU -p 12008 <host>
nc -zv <host> 12008

Block it in the firewall

sudo ufw deny 12008/tcp                                         # Linux (ufw)

04 FAQ
What is port 12008 used for?

Port 12008 is assigned by IANA to accuracer-dbms (Accuracer Database System Admin).

Is port 12008 TCP or UDP?

Port 12008 is registered for TCP and UDP.

Is it safe to open port 12008?

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. Bind the service to localhost or a private network, never to a public address.

How do I check if port 12008 is open?

On Linux run "ss -ltnup 'sport = :12008'", on macOS "lsof -nP -i :12008", and on Windows "netstat -ano | findstr :12008" to see the local process. From another machine, "nmap -p 12008 <host>" shows whether it is reachable.
