Is port 3559 dangerous?

We have no specific security note for port 3559. 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 3559, and is it reachable?

Linux

sudo ss -ltnup 'sport = :3559'      # process listening on 3559
sudo lsof -nP -i :3559

macOS

sudo lsof -nP -i :3559

Windows (PowerShell)

Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 3559 -State Listen | Select LocalAddress, OwningProcess
Get-NetUDPEndpoint -LocalPort 3559
netstat -ano | findstr :3559

From another machine

nmap -p 3559 -sV <host>
sudo nmap -sU -p 3559 <host>
nc -zv <host> 3559

Block it in the firewall

sudo ufw deny 3559/tcp                                         # Linux (ufw)
New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "Block 3559" -Direction Inbound -LocalPort 3559 -Protocol TCP -Action Block  # Windows
04 FAQ
What is port 3559 used for?

Port 3559 is assigned by IANA to cctv-port (CCTV control port).

Is port 3559 TCP or UDP?

Port 3559 is registered for TCP and UDP.

Is it safe to open port 3559?

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 3559 is open?

On Linux run "ss -ltnup 'sport = :3559'", on macOS "lsof -nP -i :3559", and on Windows "netstat -ano | findstr :3559" to see the local process. From another machine, "nmap -p 3559 <host>" shows whether it is reachable.
