Is port 576 dangerous?

We have no specific security note for port 576. 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 576, and is it reachable?

Linux

sudo ss -ltnup 'sport = :576'      # process listening on 576
sudo lsof -nP -i :576

macOS

sudo lsof -nP -i :576

Windows (PowerShell)

Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 576 -State Listen | Select LocalAddress, OwningProcess
Get-NetUDPEndpoint -LocalPort 576
netstat -ano | findstr :576

From another machine

nmap -p 576 -sV <host>
sudo nmap -sU -p 576 <host>
nc -zv <host> 576

Block it in the firewall

sudo ufw deny 576/tcp                                         # Linux (ufw)
New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "Block 576" -Direction Inbound -LocalPort 576 -Protocol TCP -Action Block  # Windows
04 FAQ
What is port 576 used for?

Port 576 is assigned by IANA to ipcd (ipcd).

Is port 576 TCP or UDP?

Port 576 is registered for TCP and UDP.

Is it safe to open port 576?

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 576 is open?

On Linux run "ss -ltnup 'sport = :576'", on macOS "lsof -nP -i :576", and on Windows "netstat -ano | findstr :576" to see the local process. From another machine, "nmap -p 576 <host>" shows whether it is reachable.
