Suspect port (at least to me)

[youngunix]

Hello all,

From time to time, I do a netstat run to check for suspicious connections. Yesterday, found this

localhost:44952 -> localhost:44952 == ESTABLISHED

.
Looked up the port number, didn't find helpful info, except it's TCP/UDP.

Does anyone have any info to share about this matter?

Thank you.

It looks like the computer connected with itself. There are some reasons why it may do this, but I doubt it would be anything malicious, since malicious programs have to connect to EXTERNAL addresses to do harm- connecting to yourself isn't putting yourself in any danger.

run sudo netstat -lnp, anything interesting/suspect showing?

No, just the usual (ssh, avahi, cups,...) my guess is that it just looked outta place.

Thanks guys
