01 Security

Is port 3078 dangerous?

We have no specific security note for port 3078. 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 3078, and is it reachable?

Linux

sudo ss -ltnup 'sport = :3078'      # process listening on 3078
sudo lsof -nP -i :3078

macOS

sudo lsof -nP -i :3078

Windows (PowerShell)

Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 3078 -State Listen | Select LocalAddress, OwningProcess
Get-NetUDPEndpoint -LocalPort 3078
netstat -ano | findstr :3078

From another machine

nmap -p 3078 -sV <host>
sudo nmap -sU -p 3078 <host>
nc -zv <host> 3078

Block it in the firewall

sudo ufw deny 3078/tcp                                         # Linux (ufw)
New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "Block 3078" -Direction Inbound -LocalPort 3078 -Protocol TCP -Action Block  # Windows
04 FAQ
What is port 3078 used for?

Port 3078 is assigned by IANA to orbix-cfg-ssl (Orbix 2000 Locator SSL).

Is port 3078 TCP or UDP?

Port 3078 is registered for TCP and UDP.

Is it safe to open port 3078?

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 3078 is open?

On Linux run "ss -ltnup 'sport = :3078'", on macOS "lsof -nP -i :3078", and on Windows "netstat -ano | findstr :3078" to see the local process. From another machine, "nmap -p 3078 <host>" shows whether it is reachable.
