Is port 1323 dangerous?

We have no specific security note for port 1323. 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 1323, and is it reachable?

Linux

sudo ss -ltnup 'sport = :1323'      # process listening on 1323
sudo lsof -nP -i :1323

macOS

sudo lsof -nP -i :1323

Windows (PowerShell)

Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 1323 -State Listen | Select LocalAddress, OwningProcess
Get-NetUDPEndpoint -LocalPort 1323
netstat -ano | findstr :1323

From another machine

nmap -p 1323 -sV <host>
sudo nmap -sU -p 1323 <host>
nc -zv <host> 1323

Block it in the firewall

sudo ufw deny 1323/tcp                                         # Linux (ufw)
New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "Block 1323" -Direction Inbound -LocalPort 1323 -Protocol TCP -Action Block  # Windows
04 FAQ
What is port 1323 used for?

Port 1323 is assigned by IANA to brcd (brcd).

Is port 1323 TCP or UDP?

Port 1323 is registered for TCP and UDP.

Is it safe to open port 1323?

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 1323 is open?

On Linux run "ss -ltnup 'sport = :1323'", on macOS "lsof -nP -i :1323", and on Windows "netstat -ano | findstr :1323" to see the local process. From another machine, "nmap -p 1323 <host>" shows whether it is reachable.
