Is port 1564 dangerous?

We have no specific security note for port 1564. 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 1564, and is it reachable?

Linux

sudo ss -ltnup 'sport = :1564'      # process listening on 1564
sudo lsof -nP -i :1564

macOS

sudo lsof -nP -i :1564

Windows (PowerShell)

Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 1564 -State Listen | Select LocalAddress, OwningProcess
Get-NetUDPEndpoint -LocalPort 1564
netstat -ano | findstr :1564

From another machine

nmap -p 1564 -sV <host>
sudo nmap -sU -p 1564 <host>
nc -zv <host> 1564

Block it in the firewall

sudo ufw deny 1564/tcp                                         # Linux (ufw)

What is port 1564 used for?

Port 1564 is assigned by IANA to pay-per-view (Pay-Per-View).

Is port 1564 TCP or UDP?

Port 1564 is registered for TCP and UDP.

Is it safe to open port 1564?

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 1564 is open?

On Linux run "ss -ltnup 'sport = :1564'", on macOS "lsof -nP -i :1564", and on Windows "netstat -ano | findstr :1564" to see the local process. From another machine, "nmap -p 1564 <host>" shows whether it is reachable.
