Is port 1469 dangerous?

We have no specific security note for port 1469. 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 1469, and is it reachable?

Linux

sudo ss -ltnup 'sport = :1469'      # process listening on 1469
sudo lsof -nP -i :1469

macOS

sudo lsof -nP -i :1469

Windows (PowerShell)

Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 1469 -State Listen | Select LocalAddress, OwningProcess
Get-NetUDPEndpoint -LocalPort 1469
netstat -ano | findstr :1469

From another machine

nmap -p 1469 -sV <host>
sudo nmap -sU -p 1469 <host>
nc -zv <host> 1469

Block it in the firewall

Is port 1469 TCP or UDP?

Port 1469 is registered for TCP and UDP.

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 1469 is open?

On Linux run "ss -ltnup 'sport = :1469'", on macOS "lsof -nP -i :1469", and on Windows "netstat -ano | findstr :1469" to see the local process. From another machine, "nmap -p 1469 <host>" shows whether it is reachable.
