Is port 4343 dangerous?

We have no specific security note for port 4343. 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 4343, and is it reachable?

Linux

sudo ss -ltnup 'sport = :4343'      # process listening on 4343
sudo lsof -nP -i :4343

macOS

sudo lsof -nP -i :4343

Windows (PowerShell)

Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 4343 -State Listen | Select LocalAddress, OwningProcess
Get-NetUDPEndpoint -LocalPort 4343
netstat -ano | findstr :4343

From another machine

nmap -p 4343 -sV <host>
sudo nmap -sU -p 4343 <host>
nc -zv <host> 4343

Block it in the firewall

sudo ufw deny 4343/tcp                                         # Linux (ufw)
New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "Block 4343" -Direction Inbound -LocalPort 4343 -Protocol TCP -Action Block  # Windows
04 FAQ
What is port 4343 used for?

Port 4343 is assigned by IANA to unicall (UNICALL).

Is port 4343 TCP or UDP?

Port 4343 is registered for TCP and UDP.

Is it safe to open port 4343?

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 4343 is open?

On Linux run "ss -ltnup 'sport = :4343'", on macOS "lsof -nP -i :4343", and on Windows "netstat -ano | findstr :4343" to see the local process. From another machine, "nmap -p 4343 <host>" shows whether it is reachable.
