01 Security

Is port 2564 dangerous?

We have no specific security note for port 2564. Its risk depends on the program actually listening on it. General advice for remote access services:

  • Do not expose remote administration directly: use a VPN or a zero-trust access proxy.
  • Require MFA or key-based authentication and lock out brute-force attempts.
  • Log every login and alert on new source addresses.

03 Check it

Which program uses port 2564, and is it reachable?

Linux

sudo ss -ltnup 'sport = :2564'      # process listening on 2564
sudo lsof -nP -i :2564

macOS

sudo lsof -nP -i :2564

Windows (PowerShell)

Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 2564 -State Listen | Select LocalAddress, OwningProcess
Get-NetUDPEndpoint -LocalPort 2564
netstat -ano | findstr :2564

From another machine

nmap -p 2564 -sV <host>
sudo nmap -sU -p 2564 <host>
nc -zv <host> 2564

Block it in the firewall

sudo ufw deny 2564/tcp                                         # Linux (ufw)
New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "Block 2564" -Direction Inbound -LocalPort 2564 -Protocol TCP -Action Block  # Windows
04 FAQ
What is port 2564 used for?

Port 2564 is assigned by IANA to hp-3000-telnet (HP 3000 NS/VT block mode telnet).

Is port 2564 TCP or UDP?

Port 2564 is registered for TCP and UDP.

Is it safe to open port 2564?

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. Do not expose remote administration directly: use a VPN or a zero-trust access proxy.

How do I check if port 2564 is open?

On Linux run "ss -ltnup 'sport = :2564'", on macOS "lsof -nP -i :2564", and on Windows "netstat -ano | findstr :2564" to see the local process. From another machine, "nmap -p 2564 <host>" shows whether it is reachable.
