What do you mean by “open a port”?

Are you trying to unblock a firewall port on your local machine… start a server on a specific port… use netcat?

You need to be more specific in your questions. Details, details, details. :wink:

sudo nc -e /bin/bash -nvlp 13337 =)))

I am trying to use netcat. I am studying cybersecurity, and I want to see if I can create a reverse shell.

sudo -i; ufw
ufw allow (port)/tcp
ufw allow (port)/udp

I did not have ufw on the system, so I installed it. Gave it a try, but did not seem to work.

as i know every local port is open no need to try to open it

  • if that didn’t work with you just stop it and try to install gufw
    i used to use it to open my ports on kali linux

did my way work ?

I have not got it to work yet.

man netcat
You need a machine to listen and a machine to connect to. Also you can just turn ufw off, it really just gets in the way of whole thing here.
