Is port 9592 dangerous?

We have no specific security note for port 9592. 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 9592, and is it reachable?

Linux

sudo ss -ltnup 'sport = :9592'      # process listening on 9592
sudo lsof -nP -i :9592

macOS

sudo lsof -nP -i :9592

Windows (PowerShell)

Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 9592 -State Listen | Select LocalAddress, OwningProcess
Get-NetUDPEndpoint -LocalPort 9592
netstat -ano | findstr :9592

From another machine

nmap -p 9592 -sV <host>
sudo nmap -sU -p 9592 <host>
nc -zv <host> 9592

Block it in the firewall

sudo ufw deny 9592/tcp                                         # Linux (ufw)

04 FAQ
What is port 9592 used for?

Port 9592 is assigned by IANA to ldgateway (LANDesk Gateway).

Is port 9592 TCP or UDP?

Port 9592 is registered for TCP and UDP.

Is it safe to open port 9592?

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 9592 is open?

On Linux run "ss -ltnup 'sport = :9592'", on macOS "lsof -nP -i :9592", and on Windows "netstat -ano | findstr :9592" to see the local process. From another machine, "nmap -p 9592 <host>" shows whether it is reachable.
