Is port 414 dangerous?

We have no specific security note for port 414. 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 414, and is it reachable?

Linux

sudo ss -ltnup 'sport = :414'      # process listening on 414
sudo lsof -nP -i :414

macOS

sudo lsof -nP -i :414

Windows (PowerShell)

Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 414 -State Listen | Select LocalAddress, OwningProcess
Get-NetUDPEndpoint -LocalPort 414
netstat -ano | findstr :414

From another machine

nmap -p 414 -sV <host>
sudo nmap -sU -p 414 <host>
nc -zv <host> 414

Block it in the firewall

sudo ufw deny 414/tcp                                         # Linux (ufw)
New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "Block 414" -Direction Inbound -LocalPort 414 -Protocol TCP -Action Block  # Windows
04 FAQ
What is port 414 used for?

Port 414 is assigned by IANA to infoseek (InfoSeek).

Is port 414 TCP or UDP?

Port 414 is registered for TCP and UDP.

Is it safe to open port 414?

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 414 is open?

On Linux run "ss -ltnup 'sport = :414'", on macOS "lsof -nP -i :414", and on Windows "netstat -ano | findstr :414" to see the local process. From another machine, "nmap -p 414 <host>" shows whether it is reachable.
