01 Security

Is port 2116 dangerous?

We have no specific security note for port 2116. 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 2116, and is it reachable?

Linux

sudo ss -ltnup 'sport = :2116'      # process listening on 2116
sudo lsof -nP -i :2116

macOS

sudo lsof -nP -i :2116

Windows (PowerShell)

Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 2116 -State Listen | Select LocalAddress, OwningProcess
Get-NetUDPEndpoint -LocalPort 2116
netstat -ano | findstr :2116

From another machine

nmap -p 2116 -sV <host>
sudo nmap -sU -p 2116 <host>
nc -zv <host> 2116

Block it in the firewall

sudo ufw deny 2116/tcp                                         # Linux (ufw)
New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "Block 2116" -Direction Inbound -LocalPort 2116 -Protocol TCP -Action Block  # Windows
04 FAQ
What is port 2116 used for?

Port 2116 is assigned by IANA to ccowcmr (CCOWCMR).

Is port 2116 TCP or UDP?

Port 2116 is registered for TCP and UDP.

Is it safe to open port 2116?

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 2116 is open?

On Linux run "ss -ltnup 'sport = :2116'", on macOS "lsof -nP -i :2116", and on Windows "netstat -ano | findstr :2116" to see the local process. From another machine, "nmap -p 2116 <host>" shows whether it is reachable.
