Is port 4345 dangerous?

We have no specific security note for port 4345. 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 4345, and is it reachable?

Linux

sudo ss -ltnup 'sport = :4345'      # process listening on 4345
sudo lsof -nP -i :4345

macOS

sudo lsof -nP -i :4345

Windows (PowerShell)

Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 4345 -State Listen | Select LocalAddress, OwningProcess
Get-NetUDPEndpoint -LocalPort 4345
netstat -ano | findstr :4345

From another machine

nmap -p 4345 -sV <host>
sudo nmap -sU -p 4345 <host>
nc -zv <host> 4345

Block it in the firewall

sudo ufw deny 4345/tcp                                         # Linux (ufw)

Is port 4345 TCP or UDP?

Port 4345 is registered for TCP and UDP.

Is it safe to open port 4345?

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 4345 is open?

On Linux run "ss -ltnup 'sport = :4345'", on macOS "lsof -nP -i :4345", and on Windows "netstat -ano | findstr :4345" to see the local process. From another machine, "nmap -p 4345 <host>" shows whether it is reachable.
