01 Security

Is port 7013 dangerous?

We have no specific security note for port 7013. 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 7013, and is it reachable?

Linux

sudo ss -ltnup 'sport = :7013'      # process listening on 7013
sudo lsof -nP -i :7013

macOS

sudo lsof -nP -i :7013

Windows (PowerShell)

Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 7013 -State Listen | Select LocalAddress, OwningProcess
Get-NetUDPEndpoint -LocalPort 7013
netstat -ano | findstr :7013

From another machine

nmap -p 7013 -sV <host>
sudo nmap -sU -p 7013 <host>
nc -zv <host> 7013

Block it in the firewall

sudo ufw deny 7013/tcp                                         # Linux (ufw)
New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "Block 7013" -Direction Inbound -LocalPort 7013 -Protocol TCP -Action Block  # Windows
04 FAQ
What is port 7013 used for?

Port 7013 is assigned by IANA to microtalon-dis (Microtalon Discovery).

Is port 7013 TCP or UDP?

Port 7013 is registered for TCP and UDP.

Is it safe to open port 7013?

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 7013 is open?

On Linux run "ss -ltnup 'sport = :7013'", on macOS "lsof -nP -i :7013", and on Windows "netstat -ano | findstr :7013" to see the local process. From another machine, "nmap -p 7013 <host>" shows whether it is reachable.
