01 Security

Is port 1562 dangerous?

We have no specific security note for port 1562. 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 1562, and is it reachable?

Linux

sudo ss -ltnup 'sport = :1562'      # process listening on 1562
sudo lsof -nP -i :1562

macOS

sudo lsof -nP -i :1562

Windows (PowerShell)

Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 1562 -State Listen | Select LocalAddress, OwningProcess
Get-NetUDPEndpoint -LocalPort 1562
netstat -ano | findstr :1562

From another machine

nmap -p 1562 -sV <host>
sudo nmap -sU -p 1562 <host>
nc -zv <host> 1562

Block it in the firewall

sudo ufw deny 1562/tcp                                         # Linux (ufw)
New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "Block 1562" -Direction Inbound -LocalPort 1562 -Protocol TCP -Action Block  # Windows
04 FAQ
What is port 1562 used for?

Port 1562 is assigned by IANA to pconnectmgr (pconnectmgr).

Is port 1562 TCP or UDP?

Port 1562 is registered for TCP and UDP.

Is it safe to open port 1562?

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 1562 is open?

On Linux run "ss -ltnup 'sport = :1562'", on macOS "lsof -nP -i :1562", and on Windows "netstat -ano | findstr :1562" to see the local process. From another machine, "nmap -p 1562 <host>" shows whether it is reachable.
