Is port 7227 dangerous?

We have no specific security note for port 7227. 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 7227, and is it reachable?

Linux

sudo ss -ltnup 'sport = :7227'      # process listening on 7227
sudo lsof -nP -i :7227

macOS

sudo lsof -nP -i :7227

Windows (PowerShell)

Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 7227 -State Listen | Select LocalAddress, OwningProcess
Get-NetUDPEndpoint -LocalPort 7227
netstat -ano | findstr :7227

From another machine

nmap -p 7227 -sV <host>
sudo nmap -sU -p 7227 <host>
nc -zv <host> 7227

Block it in the firewall

sudo ufw deny 7227/tcp                                         # Linux (ufw)
New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "Block 7227" -Direction Inbound -LocalPort 7227 -Protocol TCP -Action Block  # Windows
04 FAQ
What is port 7227 used for?

Port 7227 is assigned by IANA to ramp (Registry A & M Protocol).

Is port 7227 TCP or UDP?

Port 7227 is registered for TCP and UDP.

Is it safe to open port 7227?

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 7227 is open?

On Linux run "ss -ltnup 'sport = :7227'", on macOS "lsof -nP -i :7227", and on Windows "netstat -ano | findstr :7227" to see the local process. From another machine, "nmap -p 7227 <host>" shows whether it is reachable.
