Technical Details
what runs on :18301Audition Online Dance Battle uses port 18301 primarily to enable connections between client devices and game servers hosted by AsiaSoft in the SEA region. The port serves as a gateway for user authentication, session management, and delivery of game state updates. Real-time data such as player actions, song timing, and multiplayer synchronization heavily depend on low-latency, high-throughput communications over this port.
The game uses the TCP protocol to ensure reliable delivery of critical data packets, such as authentication details, matchmaking processes, and transaction management. Simultaneously, UDP is leveraged for time-sensitive transmission, such as in-game player movement and synchronization data, where speed takes precedence over guaranteed delivery.
From a client perspective, the game software will open outbound connections, while servers listen inbound on port 18301. The multifaceted communication strategy ensures an engaging, real-time multiplayer experience by balancing reliability and performance.

security overview
Common Vulnerabilities:
- Since the game traffic may be unencrypted, it can be susceptible to packet sniffing, exposing user information or session data.
- Man-in-the-middle (MitM) attacks could potentially intercept or manipulate data streams, leading to cheating or account compromise.
- If server software has exploitable flaws, attackers could disrupt gameplay through denial-of-service (DoS) attacks aimed at this port.
Common Mitigations:
- Utilize strict network firewall rules to restrict access to the specific server IP ranges.
- Where possible, implement encryption or VPN tunneling to obscure game traffic.
- Ensure game servers are regularly patched and are running the latest security updates to reduce vulnerabilities.
- Deploy anomaly detection systems to identify malicious behaviors like packet tampering or DoS attacks.
