Is port 2215 dangerous?

We have no specific security note for port 2215. 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 2215, and is it reachable?

Linux

sudo ss -ltnup 'sport = :2215'      # process listening on 2215
sudo lsof -nP -i :2215

macOS

sudo lsof -nP -i :2215

Windows (PowerShell)

Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 2215 -State Listen | Select LocalAddress, OwningProcess
Get-NetUDPEndpoint -LocalPort 2215
netstat -ano | findstr :2215

From another machine

nmap -p 2215 -sV <host>
sudo nmap -sU -p 2215 <host>
nc -zv <host> 2215

Block it in the firewall

sudo ufw deny 2215/tcp                                         # Linux (ufw)
New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "Block 2215" -Direction Inbound -LocalPort 2215 -Protocol TCP -Action Block  # Windows
04 FAQ
What is port 2215 used for?

Port 2215 is assigned by IANA to ipcore (IPCore.co.za GPRS).

Is port 2215 TCP or UDP?

Port 2215 is registered for TCP and UDP.

Is it safe to open port 2215?

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 2215 is open?

On Linux run "ss -ltnup 'sport = :2215'", on macOS "lsof -nP -i :2215", and on Windows "netstat -ano | findstr :2215" to see the local process. From another machine, "nmap -p 2215 <host>" shows whether it is reachable.
