01 Security

Is port 2263 dangerous?

We have no specific security note for port 2263. 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 2263, and is it reachable?

Linux

sudo ss -ltnup 'sport = :2263'      # process listening on 2263
sudo lsof -nP -i :2263

macOS

sudo lsof -nP -i :2263

Windows (PowerShell)

Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 2263 -State Listen | Select LocalAddress, OwningProcess
Get-NetUDPEndpoint -LocalPort 2263
netstat -ano | findstr :2263

From another machine

nmap -p 2263 -sV <host>
sudo nmap -sU -p 2263 <host>
nc -zv <host> 2263

Block it in the firewall

sudo ufw deny 2263/tcp                                         # Linux (ufw)
New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "Block 2263" -Direction Inbound -LocalPort 2263 -Protocol TCP -Action Block  # Windows
04 FAQ
What is port 2263 used for?

Port 2263 is assigned by IANA to ecwcfg (ECweb Configuration Service).

Is port 2263 TCP or UDP?

Port 2263 is registered for TCP and UDP.

Is it safe to open port 2263?

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 2263 is open?

On Linux run "ss -ltnup 'sport = :2263'", on macOS "lsof -nP -i :2263", and on Windows "netstat -ano | findstr :2263" to see the local process. From another machine, "nmap -p 2263 <host>" shows whether it is reachable.
