Is port 14142 dangerous?

We have no specific security note for port 14142. 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 14142, and is it reachable?

Linux

sudo ss -ltnup 'sport = :14142'      # process listening on 14142
sudo lsof -nP -i :14142

macOS

sudo lsof -nP -i :14142

Get-NetUDPEndpoint -LocalPort 14142
netstat -ano | findstr :14142

Is port 14142 TCP or UDP?

Port 14142 is registered for TCP and UDP.

Is it safe to open port 14142?

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 14142 is open?

On Linux run "ss -ltnup 'sport = :14142'", on macOS "lsof -nP -i :14142", and on Windows "netstat -ano | findstr :14142" to see the local process. From another machine, "nmap -p 14142 <host>" shows whether it is reachable.
