Is port 3677 dangerous?

We have no specific security note for port 3677. 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 3677, and is it reachable?

Linux

sudo ss -ltnup 'sport = :3677'      # process listening on 3677
sudo lsof -nP -i :3677

macOS

sudo lsof -nP -i :3677

Windows (PowerShell)

Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 3677 -State Listen | Select LocalAddress, OwningProcess
Get-NetUDPEndpoint -LocalPort 3677
netstat -ano | findstr :3677

From another machine

nmap -p 3677 -sV <host>
sudo nmap -sU -p 3677 <host>
nc -zv <host> 3677

Block it in the firewall

sudo ufw deny 3677/tcp                                         # Linux (ufw)
New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "Block 3677" -Direction Inbound -LocalPort 3677 -Protocol TCP -Action Block  # Windows
04 FAQ
What is port 3677 used for?

Port 3677 is assigned by IANA to roverlog (RoverLog IPC).

Is port 3677 TCP or UDP?

Port 3677 is registered for TCP and UDP.

Is it safe to open port 3677?

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 3677 is open?

On Linux run "ss -ltnup 'sport = :3677'", on macOS "lsof -nP -i :3677", and on Windows "netstat -ano | findstr :3677" to see the local process. From another machine, "nmap -p 3677 <host>" shows whether it is reachable.
