Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
I used my iPhone to scan my home network which is using AirPort Extreme. I found 3 open ports on the airport extreme As following:
53 dns
5009 apple airport wap admin
10000 webmin web based Linux admin tool
Here is the screenshot
I am a super newbie to airport. I want to ask what is the 10000 port for? Why there is a Linux admin tool in an apple product?
Here is a great reference: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202944
And more generic: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_TCP_and_UDP_port_numbers
Note that ports above 1023 including that 10000 could be anything and are typically not to be worried about. It appears that 10000 for example is used for VoIP calling. So, being identified as Webmin is likely a false determination simply because that also uses 10000.
