Port(s) Protocol Service Details Source
23456 tcp trojans Common sequence of numbers "2 3 4 5 6" often used as default port by some programs and trojans.

Cisco SD-WAN edge devices use these ports to establish connections with peers in the overlay network:
UDP ports 12346, 12446, 12546, 12646 (UDP if DTLS)
TCP ports: 23456, 23556, 23656, 23756 (TCP if DTLS)

Trojans/backdoors that use this port: Evil FTP, Ugly FTP, WhackJob

An issue was discovered on AVStar PE204 3.10.70 IP camera devices. A denial of service can occur on open TCP port 23456. After a TELNET connection, no TCP ports are open.
References: [CVE-2019-18382], [XFDB-170155]

Backdoor.Win32.NetBull.11.b / Remote Buffer Overflow - NetBull.11.b listens on both TCP ports 23456 and 23457, sending a large junk packet results in buffer overflow overwriting stack registers.

SANS Internet Storm Center: port 23456

Notes:
Port numbers in computer networking represent communication endpoints. Ports are unsigned 16-bit integers (0-65535) that identify a specific process, or network service. IANA is responsible for internet protocol resources, including the registration of commonly used port numbers for well-known internet services.
Well Known Ports: 0 through 1023.
Registered Ports: 1024 through 49151.
Dynamic/Private : 49152 through 65535.

TCP ports use the Transmission Control Protocol, the most commonly used protocol on the Internet and any TCP/IP network. TCP enables two hosts to establish a connection and exchange streams of data. TCP guarantees delivery of data and that packets will be delivered in the same order in which they were sent. Guaranteed communication/delivery is the key difference between TCP and UDP.

UDP ports use the Datagram Protocol. Like TCP, UDP is used in combination with IP (the Internet Protocol) and facilitates the transmission of datagrams from one computer to applications on another computer, but unlike TCP, UDP is connectionless and does not guarantee reliable communication; it's up to the application that received the message to process any errors and verify correct delivery. UDP is often used with time-sensitive applications, such as audio/video streaming and realtime gaming, where dropping some packets is preferable to waiting for delayed data.

When troubleshooting unknown open ports, it is useful to find exactly what services/processes are listening to them. This can be accomplished in both Windows command prompt and Linux variants using the "netstat -aon" command. We also recommend runnig multiple anti-virus/anti-malware scans to rule out the possibility of active malicious software. For more detailed and personalized help please use our forums.
