Port(s) Protocol Service Details Source
4999 tcp,udp trojans Backdoor.Ripjac [Symantec-2002-112118-0605-99] (2002.11.21) - a backdoor trojan that allows a hacker to gain access to the infected computer. The presence of the file Synchost.exe is an indication of a possible infection. By default, the trojan opens port 4999 to allow the hacker to remotely control the infected computer.

Siemens SINEMA Server before 12 SP1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (web-interface outage) via crafted HTTP requests to port 4999 or 80.
References: [CVE-2014-2733]

Siemens SIMATIC WinCC OA before 3.12 P002 January allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (monitoring-service outage) via malformed HTTP requests to port 4999.
References: [CVE-2014-1697], [CVE-2014-1698], [CVE-2014-1699], [BID-65349], [OSVDB-102811], [SECUNIA-56651]

Multiple directory traversal vulnerabilities in the integrated web server in Siemens SINEMA Server before 12 SP1 allow remote attackers to access arbitrary files via HTTP traffic to port (1) 4999 or (2) 80.
References: [CVE-2014-2732]

Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in the integrated web server in Siemens SINEMA Server before 12 SP1 allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via HTTP traffic to port (1) 4999 or (2) 80.

SANS ISC: port 4999

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.
