Is port 2883 dangerous?

We have no specific security note for port 2883. 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 2883, and is it reachable?

Linux

sudo ss -ltnup 'sport = :2883'      # process listening on 2883
sudo lsof -nP -i :2883

macOS

sudo lsof -nP -i :2883

Windows (PowerShell)

Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 2883 -State Listen | Select LocalAddress, OwningProcess
Get-NetUDPEndpoint -LocalPort 2883
netstat -ano | findstr :2883

From another machine

nmap -p 2883 -sV <host>
sudo nmap -sU -p 2883 <host>
nc -zv <host> 2883

Block it in the firewall

sudo ufw deny 2883/tcp                                         # Linux (ufw)
New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "Block 2883" -Direction Inbound -LocalPort 2883 -Protocol TCP -Action Block  # Windows
04 FAQ
What is port 2883 used for?

Port 2883 is assigned by IANA to ndnp (NDNP).

Is port 2883 TCP or UDP?

Port 2883 is registered for TCP and UDP.

Is it safe to open port 2883?

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 2883 is open?

On Linux run "ss -ltnup 'sport = :2883'", on macOS "lsof -nP -i :2883", and on Windows "netstat -ano | findstr :2883" to see the local process. From another machine, "nmap -p 2883 <host>" shows whether it is reachable.
