01 Security

Is port 3184 dangerous?

We have no specific security note for port 3184. 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 3184, and is it reachable?

Linux

sudo ss -ltnup 'sport = :3184'      # process listening on 3184
sudo lsof -nP -i :3184

macOS

sudo lsof -nP -i :3184

Windows (PowerShell)

Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 3184 -State Listen | Select LocalAddress, OwningProcess
Get-NetUDPEndpoint -LocalPort 3184
netstat -ano | findstr :3184

From another machine

nmap -p 3184 -sV <host>
sudo nmap -sU -p 3184 <host>
nc -zv <host> 3184

Block it in the firewall

sudo ufw deny 3184/tcp                                         # Linux (ufw)
New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "Block 3184" -Direction Inbound -LocalPort 3184 -Protocol TCP -Action Block  # Windows
04 FAQ
What is port 3184 used for?

Port 3184 is assigned by IANA to apogeex-port (ApogeeX Port).

Is port 3184 TCP or UDP?

Port 3184 is registered for TCP and UDP.

Is it safe to open port 3184?

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 3184 is open?

On Linux run "ss -ltnup 'sport = :3184'", on macOS "lsof -nP -i :3184", and on Windows "netstat -ano | findstr :3184" to see the local process. From another machine, "nmap -p 3184 <host>" shows whether it is reachable.
