01 Security

Is port 6114 dangerous?

We have no specific security note for port 6114. 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 6114, and is it reachable?

Linux

sudo ss -ltnup 'sport = :6114'      # process listening on 6114
sudo lsof -nP -i :6114

macOS

sudo lsof -nP -i :6114

Windows (PowerShell)

Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 6114 -State Listen | Select LocalAddress, OwningProcess
Get-NetUDPEndpoint -LocalPort 6114
netstat -ano | findstr :6114

From another machine

nmap -p 6114 -sV <host>
nc -zv <host> 6114

Block it in the firewall

sudo ufw deny 6114/tcp                                         # Linux (ufw)
New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "Block 6114" -Direction Inbound -LocalPort 6114 -Protocol TCP -Action Block  # Windows
04 FAQ
What is port 6114 used for?

Port 6114 is assigned by IANA to wrspice (WRspice IPC Service).

Is port 6114 TCP or UDP?

Port 6114 is registered for TCP.

Is it safe to open port 6114?

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 6114 is open?

On Linux run "ss -ltnup 'sport = :6114'", on macOS "lsof -nP -i :6114", and on Windows "netstat -ano | findstr :6114" to see the local process. From another machine, "nmap -p 6114 <host>" shows whether it is reachable.
