Is port 3588 dangerous?

We have no specific security note for port 3588. 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 3588, and is it reachable?

Linux

sudo ss -ltnup 'sport = :3588'      # process listening on 3588
sudo lsof -nP -i :3588

macOS

sudo lsof -nP -i :3588

Windows (PowerShell)

Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 3588 -State Listen | Select LocalAddress, OwningProcess
Get-NetUDPEndpoint -LocalPort 3588
netstat -ano | findstr :3588

From another machine

nmap -p 3588 -sV <host>
sudo nmap -sU -p 3588 <host>
nc -zv <host> 3588

Block it in the firewall

sudo ufw deny 3588/tcp                                         # Linux (ufw)
New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "Block 3588" -Direction Inbound -LocalPort 3588 -Protocol TCP -Action Block  # Windows
04 FAQ
What is port 3588 used for?

Port 3588 is assigned by IANA to sentinel (Sentinel Server).

Is port 3588 TCP or UDP?

Port 3588 is registered for TCP and UDP.

Is it safe to open port 3588?

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 3588 is open?

On Linux run "ss -ltnup 'sport = :3588'", on macOS "lsof -nP -i :3588", and on Windows "netstat -ano | findstr :3588" to see the local process. From another machine, "nmap -p 3588 <host>" shows whether it is reachable.
