01 Security

Is port 4133 dangerous?

We have no specific security note for port 4133. Its risk depends on the program actually listening on it. General advice for network services services:

  • Answer only the networks that need the service (no open resolvers, relays or reflectors).
  • UDP services can be abused for DDoS amplification: rate-limit or block them at the edge.
  • Disable legacy test services that have no use in production.

03 Check it

Which program uses port 4133, and is it reachable?

Linux

sudo ss -ltnup 'sport = :4133'      # process listening on 4133
sudo lsof -nP -i :4133

macOS

sudo lsof -nP -i :4133

Windows (PowerShell)

Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 4133 -State Listen | Select LocalAddress, OwningProcess
Get-NetUDPEndpoint -LocalPort 4133
netstat -ano | findstr :4133

From another machine

nmap -p 4133 -sV <host>
sudo nmap -sU -p 4133 <host>
nc -zv <host> 4133

Block it in the firewall

04 FAQ
What is port 4133 used for?

Port 4133 is assigned by IANA to nuts_bootp (NUTS Bootp Server), nuts-bootp (NUTS Bootp Server IANA assigned this well-formed service name as a replacement for "nuts_bootp".).

Is port 4133 TCP or UDP?

Port 4133 is registered for TCP and UDP.

Is it safe to open port 4133?

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. Answer only the networks that need the service (no open resolvers, relays or reflectors).

How do I check if port 4133 is open?

On Linux run "ss -ltnup 'sport = :4133'", on macOS "lsof -nP -i :4133", and on Windows "netstat -ano | findstr :4133" to see the local process. From another machine, "nmap -p 4133 <host>" shows whether it is reachable.
