Neo4j Graph Database

NEO4J is a graph database management system that leverages port 5000 for its communication. It is designed to handle complex data relationships and connections efficiently. NEO4J is widely used in applications requiring high-performance graph data processing.

What is Neo4j Graph Database

NEO4J is a highly popular graph database management system that utilizes port 5000 for its communication. It is designed to store and manage data in a graph format, which is particularly useful for applications that require the handling of complex relationships and connections between data points. This makes it an ideal choice for social networks, recommendation engines, and fraud detection systems.

Developed by Neo4j, Inc., the database system has gained significant traction due to its performance and scalability. NEO4J allows for efficient querying and manipulation of graph data, which is often more intuitive and faster than traditional relational databases for certain types of applications. The system supports ACID transactions, ensuring data integrity and reliability.

NEO4J's architecture is optimized for graph traversal, making it possible to execute complex queries quickly. The system also provides a rich set of APIs and tools for developers, including a powerful query language called Cypher. This enables users to interact with the graph data in a straightforward and expressive manner. As a result, NEO4J has become a go-to solution for organizations looking to leverage graph data for insights and decision-making.

Neo4j Graph Database runs on TCP port 7474 and is official IANA port.

Security risk

If port 5000 is open and the NEO4J service is running, it could be exposed to unauthorized access and potential data breaches. Attackers could exploit vulnerabilities in the service to gain access to sensitive data or disrupt operations. It is crucial to secure this port with appropriate firewall rules and authentication mechanisms.

In our UFW tutorial you can follow instructions how you can configure UFW to close port 7474. Use StackChanges to monitor if the Neo4j Graph Database port is closed and stays closed. StackChanges will send an alert if port 7474 is open again.
