Other services
client:5085#%&@!x9response? client:5085#%&@!x9response?

The client sends a request to port 5085 and the encrypted-llrp service answers. Everything is encrypted: someone on the path only sees unreadable bytes.

01 Security

Is port 5085 dangerous?

We have no specific security note for port 5085. 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 5085, and is it reachable?

Linux

sudo ss -ltnup 'sport = :5085'      # process listening on 5085
sudo lsof -nP -i :5085

macOS

sudo lsof -nP -i :5085

Windows (PowerShell)

Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 5085 -State Listen | Select LocalAddress, OwningProcess
Get-NetUDPEndpoint -LocalPort 5085
netstat -ano | findstr :5085

From another machine

nmap -p 5085 -sV <host>
sudo nmap -sU -p 5085 <host>
nc -zv <host> 5085

Block it in the firewall

sudo ufw deny 5085/tcp                                         # Linux (ufw)
New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "Block 5085" -Direction Inbound -LocalPort 5085 -Protocol TCP -Action Block  # Windows
04 FAQ
What is port 5085 used for?

Port 5085 is assigned by IANA to encrypted-llrp (EPCglobal Encrypted LLRP).

Is port 5085 TCP or UDP?

Port 5085 is registered for TCP and UDP.

Is it safe to open port 5085?

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 5085 is open?

On Linux run "ss -ltnup 'sport = :5085'", on macOS "lsof -nP -i :5085", and on Windows "netstat -ano | findstr :5085" to see the local process. From another machine, "nmap -p 5085 <host>" shows whether it is reachable.
