Is port 1545 dangerous?

We have no specific security note for port 1545. 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 1545, and is it reachable?

Linux

sudo ss -ltnup 'sport = :1545'      # process listening on 1545
sudo lsof -nP -i :1545

macOS

sudo lsof -nP -i :1545

Windows (PowerShell)

Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 1545 -State Listen | Select LocalAddress, OwningProcess
Get-NetUDPEndpoint -LocalPort 1545
netstat -ano | findstr :1545

From another machine

nmap -p 1545 -sV <host>
sudo nmap -sU -p 1545 <host>
nc -zv <host> 1545

Block it in the firewall

sudo ufw deny 1545/tcp                                         # Linux (ufw)

04 FAQ
What is port 1545 used for?

Port 1545 is assigned by IANA to vistium-share (vistium-share).

Is port 1545 TCP or UDP?

Port 1545 is registered for TCP and UDP.

Is it safe to open port 1545?

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 1545 is open?

On Linux run "ss -ltnup 'sport = :1545'", on macOS "lsof -nP -i :1545", and on Windows "netstat -ano | findstr :1545" to see the local process. From another machine, "nmap -p 1545 <host>" shows whether it is reachable.
