- 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.
Port 5319: Roughtime time synchronization
Port 5319 is assigned by IANA to roughtime (Roughtime time synchronization).

Is port 5319 dangerous?
We have no specific security note for port 5319. Its risk depends on the program actually listening on it. General advice for network services services:

Which program uses port 5319, and is it reachable?
Linux
sudo ss -ltnup 'sport = :5319' # process listening on 5319
sudo lsof -nP -i :5319macOS
sudo lsof -nP -i :5319
Windows (PowerShell)
Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 5319 -State Listen | Select LocalAddress, OwningProcess Get-NetUDPEndpoint -LocalPort 5319 netstat -ano | findstr :5319
From another machine
nmap -p 5319 -sV <host> sudo nmap -sU -p 5319 <host> nc -zv <host> 5319
Block it in the firewall
sudo ufw deny 5319/tcp # Linux (ufw) New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "Block 5319" -Direction Inbound -LocalPort 5319 -Protocol TCP -Action Block # Windows
What is port 5319 used for?
Port 5319 is assigned by IANA to roughtime (Roughtime time synchronization).
Is port 5319 TCP or UDP?
Port 5319 is registered for TCP and UDP.
Is it safe to open port 5319?
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 5319 is open?
On Linux run "ss -ltnup 'sport = :5319'", on macOS "lsof -nP -i :5319", and on Windows "netstat -ano | findstr :5319" to see the local process. From another machine, "nmap -p 5319 <host>" shows whether it is reachable.
