01 Security

Is port 3079 dangerous?

We have no specific security note for port 3079. 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 3079, and is it reachable?

Linux

sudo ss -ltnup 'sport = :3079'      # process listening on 3079
sudo lsof -nP -i :3079

macOS

sudo lsof -nP -i :3079

Windows (PowerShell)

Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 3079 -State Listen | Select LocalAddress, OwningProcess
Get-NetUDPEndpoint -LocalPort 3079
netstat -ano | findstr :3079

From another machine

nmap -p 3079 -sV <host>
sudo nmap -sU -p 3079 <host>
nc -zv <host> 3079

Block it in the firewall

sudo ufw deny 3079/tcp                                         # Linux (ufw)
New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "Block 3079" -Direction Inbound -LocalPort 3079 -Protocol TCP -Action Block  # Windows

What is port 3079 used for?

Port 3079 is assigned by IANA to lv-frontpanel (LV Front Panel).

Is port 3079 TCP or UDP?

Port 3079 is registered for TCP and UDP.

Is it safe to open port 3079?

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 3079 is open?

On Linux run "ss -ltnup 'sport = :3079'", on macOS "lsof -nP -i :3079", and on Windows "netstat -ano | findstr :3079" to see the local process. From another machine, "nmap -p 3079 <host>" shows whether it is reachable.
