Is port 1508 dangerous?

We have no specific security note for port 1508. 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 1508, and is it reachable?

Linux

sudo ss -ltnup 'sport = :1508'      # process listening on 1508
sudo lsof -nP -i :1508

macOS

sudo lsof -nP -i :1508

Windows (PowerShell)

Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 1508 -State Listen | Select LocalAddress, OwningProcess
Get-NetUDPEndpoint -LocalPort 1508
netstat -ano | findstr :1508

From another machine

nmap -p 1508 -sV <host>
sudo nmap -sU -p 1508 <host>
nc -zv <host> 1508

Block it in the firewall

sudo ufw deny 1508/tcp                                         # Linux (ufw)

04 FAQ
What is port 1508 used for?

Port 1508 is assigned by IANA to diagmond (diagmond).

Is port 1508 TCP or UDP?

Port 1508 is registered for TCP and UDP.

Is it safe to open port 1508?

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 1508 is open?

On Linux run "ss -ltnup 'sport = :1508'", on macOS "lsof -nP -i :1508", and on Windows "netstat -ano | findstr :1508" to see the local process. From another machine, "nmap -p 1508 <host>" shows whether it is reachable.
