01 Security

Is port 5309 dangerous?

We have no specific security note for port 5309. 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 5309, and is it reachable?

Linux

sudo ss -ltnup 'sport = :5309'      # process listening on 5309
sudo lsof -nP -i :5309

macOS

sudo lsof -nP -i :5309

Windows (PowerShell)

Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 5309 -State Listen | Select LocalAddress, OwningProcess
Get-NetUDPEndpoint -LocalPort 5309
netstat -ano | findstr :5309

From another machine

nmap -p 5309 -sV <host>
sudo nmap -sU -p 5309 <host>
nc -zv <host> 5309

Block it in the firewall

sudo ufw deny 5309/tcp                                         # Linux (ufw)
New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "Block 5309" -Direction Inbound -LocalPort 5309 -Protocol TCP -Action Block  # Windows
04 FAQ
What is port 5309 used for?

Port 5309 is assigned by IANA to jprinter (J Printer).

Is port 5309 TCP or UDP?

Port 5309 is registered for TCP and UDP.

Is it safe to open port 5309?

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 5309 is open?

On Linux run "ss -ltnup 'sport = :5309'", on macOS "lsof -nP -i :5309", and on Windows "netstat -ano | findstr :5309" to see the local process. From another machine, "nmap -p 5309 <host>" shows whether it is reachable.
