01 Security

Is port 2073 dangerous?

We have no specific security note for port 2073. 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 2073, and is it reachable?

Linux

sudo ss -ltnup 'sport = :2073'      # process listening on 2073
sudo lsof -nP -i :2073

macOS

sudo lsof -nP -i :2073

Windows (PowerShell)

Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 2073 -State Listen | Select LocalAddress, OwningProcess
Get-NetUDPEndpoint -LocalPort 2073
netstat -ano | findstr :2073

From another machine

nmap -p 2073 -sV <host>
sudo nmap -sU -p 2073 <host>
nc -zv <host> 2073

Block it in the firewall

sudo ufw deny 2073/tcp                                         # Linux (ufw)
New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "Block 2073" -Direction Inbound -LocalPort 2073 -Protocol TCP -Action Block  # Windows
04 FAQ
What is port 2073 used for?

Port 2073 is assigned by IANA to gxs-data-port (DataReel Database Socket).

Is port 2073 TCP or UDP?

Port 2073 is registered for TCP and UDP.

Is it safe to open port 2073?

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 2073 is open?

On Linux run "ss -ltnup 'sport = :2073'", on macOS "lsof -nP -i :2073", and on Windows "netstat -ano | findstr :2073" to see the local process. From another machine, "nmap -p 2073 <host>" shows whether it is reachable.
