01 Security

Is port 8807 dangerous?

We have no specific security note for port 8807. 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 8807, and is it reachable?

Linux

sudo ss -ltnup 'sport = :8807'      # process listening on 8807
sudo lsof -nP -i :8807

macOS

sudo lsof -nP -i :8807

Windows (PowerShell)

Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 8807 -State Listen | Select LocalAddress, OwningProcess
Get-NetUDPEndpoint -LocalPort 8807
netstat -ano | findstr :8807

From another machine

nmap -p 8807 -sV <host>
sudo nmap -sU -p 8807 <host>
nc -zv <host> 8807

Block it in the firewall

sudo ufw deny 8807/udp                                         # Linux (ufw)
New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "Block 8807" -Direction Inbound -LocalPort 8807 -Protocol UDP -Action Block  # Windows
04 FAQ
What is port 8807 used for?

Port 8807 is assigned by IANA to hes-clip (HES-CLIP Interoperability protocol).

Is port 8807 TCP or UDP?

Port 8807 is registered for UDP.

Is it safe to open port 8807?

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 8807 is open?

On Linux run "ss -ltnup 'sport = :8807'", on macOS "lsof -nP -i :8807", and on Windows "netstat -ano | findstr :8807" to see the local process. From another machine, "nmap -p 8807 <host>" shows whether it is reachable.
