01 Security

Is port 7072 dangerous?

We have no specific security note for port 7072. 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 7072, and is it reachable?

Linux

sudo ss -ltnup 'sport = :7072'      # process listening on 7072
sudo lsof -nP -i :7072

macOS

sudo lsof -nP -i :7072

Windows (PowerShell)

Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 7072 -State Listen | Select LocalAddress, OwningProcess
Get-NetUDPEndpoint -LocalPort 7072
netstat -ano | findstr :7072

From another machine

nmap -p 7072 -sV <host>
sudo nmap -sU -p 7072 <host>
nc -zv <host> 7072

Block it in the firewall

sudo ufw deny 7072/tcp                                         # Linux (ufw)
New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "Block 7072" -Direction Inbound -LocalPort 7072 -Protocol TCP -Action Block  # Windows
04 FAQ
What is port 7072 used for?

Port 7072 is assigned by IANA to iba-cfg (iba Device Configuration Protocol), iba-cfg-disc (iba Device Configuration Protocol).

Is port 7072 TCP or UDP?

Port 7072 is registered for TCP and UDP.

Is it safe to open port 7072?

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 7072 is open?

On Linux run "ss -ltnup 'sport = :7072'", on macOS "lsof -nP -i :7072", and on Windows "netstat -ano | findstr :7072" to see the local process. From another machine, "nmap -p 7072 <host>" shows whether it is reachable.
