Is port 6767 dangerous?

We have no specific security note for port 6767. 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 6767, and is it reachable?

Linux

sudo ss -ltnup 'sport = :6767'      # process listening on 6767
sudo lsof -nP -i :6767

macOS

sudo lsof -nP -i :6767

Windows (PowerShell)

Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 6767 -State Listen | Select LocalAddress, OwningProcess
Get-NetUDPEndpoint -LocalPort 6767
netstat -ano | findstr :6767

From another machine

nmap -p 6767 -sV <host>
sudo nmap -sU -p 6767 <host>
nc -zv <host> 6767

Block it in the firewall

sudo ufw deny 6767/tcp                                         # Linux (ufw)

04 FAQ
What is port 6767 used for?

Port 6767 is assigned by IANA to bmc-perf-agent (BMC PERFORM AGENT).

Is port 6767 TCP or UDP?

Port 6767 is registered for TCP and UDP.

Is it safe to open port 6767?

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 6767 is open?

On Linux run "ss -ltnup 'sport = :6767'", on macOS "lsof -nP -i :6767", and on Windows "netstat -ano | findstr :6767" to see the local process. From another machine, "nmap -p 6767 <host>" shows whether it is reachable.
