01 Security

Is port 3432 dangerous?

We have no specific security note for port 3432. Its risk depends on the program actually listening on it. General advice for other services services:

  • Close the port if nothing on the host needs it.
  • Identify the process that listens on it (commands below) before opening it in a firewall.
  • Expose a service only to the networks that use it.

03 Check it

Which program uses port 3432, and is it reachable?

Linux

sudo ss -ltnup 'sport = :3432'      # process listening on 3432
sudo lsof -nP -i :3432

macOS

sudo lsof -nP -i :3432

Windows (PowerShell)

Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 3432 -State Listen | Select LocalAddress, OwningProcess
Get-NetUDPEndpoint -LocalPort 3432
netstat -ano | findstr :3432

From another machine

nmap -p 3432 -sV <host>
sudo nmap -sU -p 3432 <host>
nc -zv <host> 3432

Block it in the firewall

sudo ufw deny 3432/tcp                                         # Linux (ufw)
New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "Block 3432" -Direction Inbound -LocalPort 3432 -Protocol TCP -Action Block  # Windows
04 FAQ
What is port 3432 used for?

Port 3432 is assigned by IANA to osdcp (Secure Device Protocol).

Is port 3432 TCP or UDP?

Port 3432 is registered for TCP and UDP.

Is it safe to open port 3432?

It depends on the program that listens on it. Open it only for a service you know and only to the networks that need it. Close the port if nothing on the host needs it.

How do I check if port 3432 is open?

On Linux run "ss -ltnup 'sport = :3432'", on macOS "lsof -nP -i :3432", and on Windows "netstat -ano | findstr :3432" to see the local process. From another machine, "nmap -p 3432 <host>" shows whether it is reachable.
