01 Security

Is port 3374 dangerous?

We have no specific security note for port 3374. Its risk depends on the program actually listening on it. General advice for devops, cloud & containers services:

  • Container and orchestration APIs give full control of hosts: require mutual TLS and RBAC.
  • Never expose them to the Internet.
  • Rotate tokens and certificates and audit who has access.

03 Check it

Which program uses port 3374, and is it reachable?

Linux

sudo ss -ltnup 'sport = :3374'      # process listening on 3374
sudo lsof -nP -i :3374

macOS

sudo lsof -nP -i :3374

Windows (PowerShell)

Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 3374 -State Listen | Select LocalAddress, OwningProcess
Get-NetUDPEndpoint -LocalPort 3374
netstat -ano | findstr :3374

From another machine

nmap -p 3374 -sV <host>
sudo nmap -sU -p 3374 <host>
nc -zv <host> 3374

Block it in the firewall

04 FAQ
What is port 3374 used for?

Port 3374 is assigned by IANA to cluster-disc (Cluster Disc).

Is port 3374 TCP or UDP?

Port 3374 is registered for TCP and UDP.

Is it safe to open port 3374?

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. Container and orchestration APIs give full control of hosts: require mutual TLS and RBAC.

How do I check if port 3374 is open?

On Linux run "ss -ltnup 'sport = :3374'", on macOS "lsof -nP -i :3374", and on Windows "netstat -ano | findstr :3374" to see the local process. From another machine, "nmap -p 3374 <host>" shows whether it is reachable.
