01 Security

Is port 1601 dangerous?

We have no specific security note for port 1601. 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 1601, and is it reachable?

Linux

sudo ss -ltnup 'sport = :1601'      # process listening on 1601
sudo lsof -nP -i :1601

macOS

sudo lsof -nP -i :1601

Windows (PowerShell)

Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 1601 -State Listen | Select LocalAddress, OwningProcess
Get-NetUDPEndpoint -LocalPort 1601
netstat -ano | findstr :1601

From another machine

nmap -p 1601 -sV <host>
sudo nmap -sU -p 1601 <host>
nc -zv <host> 1601

Block it in the firewall

sudo ufw deny 1601/tcp                                         # Linux (ufw)
New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "Block 1601" -Direction Inbound -LocalPort 1601 -Protocol TCP -Action Block  # Windows
04 FAQ
What is port 1601 used for?

Port 1601 is assigned by IANA to aas (aas).

Is port 1601 TCP or UDP?

Port 1601 is registered for TCP and UDP.

Is it safe to open port 1601?

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 1601 is open?

On Linux run "ss -ltnup 'sport = :1601'", on macOS "lsof -nP -i :1601", and on Windows "netstat -ano | findstr :1601" to see the local process. From another machine, "nmap -p 1601 <host>" shows whether it is reachable.
