Backdoor.Darkmoon.E [Symantec-2007-092515-0356-99] (2007.09.25) - a Trojan horse that opens a back door on TCP port 5555 on the compromised computer.

Some other trojans also use this port Backdoor.Sysbug [Symantec-2003-112517-2455-99], Noxcape, W32.MiMail.P, Daodan, Backdoor.OptixPro, ServeMe.

HP OpenView OmniBack 2.55 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a large number of connections to port 5555.
References: [CVE-2000-0179] [BID-1015]

The Backup Client Service (OmniInet.exe) in HP Storage Data Protector 6.2X allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands or cause a denial of service via a crafted EXEC_BAR packet to TCP port 5555, aka ZDI-CAN-1885.
References: [CVE-2013-2347] [OSVDB-101626]

HP Data Protector could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the system. By sending a specially-crafted request to TCP port 5555, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary commands on the system.
References: [CVE-2014-2623] [XFDB-94504]

KDDI CORPORATION Smart TV Box could allow a remote attacker to bypass security restrictions, caused by the failure to restrict access by the Android Debug Bridge. By using port 5555/TCP, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to conduct arbitrary operations on the device without user's intent.
References: [CVE-2019-6005], [XFDB-165762]

Jector Smart TV FM-K75 could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system. By using an adb connect to 5555 port, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code on the system with root privileges.
References: [CVE-2019-9871], [XFDB-162056]

UPNP Service listening on port 5555 in Genexis Platinum 4410 Router V2.1 (P4410-V2–1.34H) has an action 'X_GetAccess' which leaks the credentials of 'admin', provided that the attacker is network adjacent.
References: [CVE-2020-25988]

Backdoor.Win32.FTP.Ics / Unauthenticated Remote Command Execution - the malware listens on TCP port 5555. Third-party attackers who can reach the system can run commands made available by the backdoor hijacking the infected host.
References: [MVID-2022-0499]

Fortinet FortiNAC could allow a remote attacker to gain unauthorized access to the system, caused by a command injection vulnerability. By sending a specially crafted request to the tcp/5555 service, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to copy local files of the device to other local directories of the device.

SANS ISC: port 5555

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.
