01 Security

Is port 7400 dangerous?

We have no specific security note for port 7400. 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 7400, and is it reachable?

Linux

sudo ss -ltnup 'sport = :7400'      # process listening on 7400
sudo lsof -nP -i :7400

macOS

sudo lsof -nP -i :7400

Windows (PowerShell)

Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 7400 -State Listen | Select LocalAddress, OwningProcess
Get-NetUDPEndpoint -LocalPort 7400
netstat -ano | findstr :7400

From another machine

nmap -p 7400 -sV <host>
sudo nmap -sU -p 7400 <host>
nc -zv <host> 7400

Block it in the firewall

sudo ufw deny 7400/tcp                                         # Linux (ufw)
New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "Block 7400" -Direction Inbound -LocalPort 7400 -Protocol TCP -Action Block  # Windows
04 FAQ
What is port 7400 used for?

Port 7400 is assigned by IANA to rtps-discovery (RTPS Discovery).

Is port 7400 TCP or UDP?

Port 7400 is registered for TCP and UDP.

Is it safe to open port 7400?

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 7400 is open?

On Linux run "ss -ltnup 'sport = :7400'", on macOS "lsof -nP -i :7400", and on Windows "netstat -ano | findstr :7400" to see the local process. From another machine, "nmap -p 7400 <host>" shows whether it is reachable.
