Is port 5470 dangerous?

We have no specific security note for port 5470. 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 5470, and is it reachable?

Linux

sudo ss -ltnup 'sport = :5470'      # process listening on 5470
sudo lsof -nP -i :5470

macOS

sudo lsof -nP -i :5470

Windows (PowerShell)

Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 5470 -State Listen | Select LocalAddress, OwningProcess
Get-NetUDPEndpoint -LocalPort 5470
netstat -ano | findstr :5470

From another machine

nmap -p 5470 -sV <host>
nc -zv <host> 5470

Block it in the firewall

sudo ufw deny 5470/tcp                                         # Linux (ufw)

Port 5470 is assigned by IANA to apsolab-col (The Apsolab company's data collection protocol (native api)).

Is port 5470 TCP or UDP?

Port 5470 is registered for TCP.

Is it safe to open port 5470?

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 5470 is open?

On Linux run "ss -ltnup 'sport = :5470'", on macOS "lsof -nP -i :5470", and on Windows "netstat -ano | findstr :5470" to see the local process. From another machine, "nmap -p 5470 <host>" shows whether it is reachable.
