Is port 3525 dangerous?

We have no specific security note for port 3525. 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.

Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 3525 -State Listen | Select LocalAddress, OwningProcess
Get-NetUDPEndpoint -LocalPort 3525
netstat -ano | findstr :3525

From another machine

nmap -p 3525 -sV <host>
sudo nmap -sU -p 3525 <host>
nc -zv <host> 3525

Block it in the firewall
