Is port 2665 dangerous?

We have no specific security note for port 2665. Its risk depends on the program actually listening on it. General advice for messaging & queues services:

  • Require authentication and TLS on brokers and coordination services.
  • Restrict clients by network and per-topic or per-queue permissions.
  • Remove default accounts.

03 Check it

Which program uses port 2665, and is it reachable?

Linux

sudo ss -ltnup 'sport = :2665'      # process listening on 2665
sudo lsof -nP -i :2665

macOS

sudo lsof -nP -i :2665

Windows (PowerShell)

Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 2665 -State Listen | Select LocalAddress, OwningProcess
Get-NetUDPEndpoint -LocalPort 2665
netstat -ano | findstr :2665

From another machine

nmap -p 2665 -sV <host>
sudo nmap -sU -p 2665 <host>
nc -zv <host> 2665

Block it in the firewall
