Is port 3635 dangerous?

We have no specific security note for port 3635. 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.

Which program uses port 3635, and is it reachable?

Linux

sudo ss -ltnup 'sport = :3635'      # process listening on 3635
sudo lsof -nP -i :3635

macOS

sudo lsof -nP -i :3635

Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 3635 -State Listen | Select LocalAddress, OwningProcess
Get-NetUDPEndpoint -LocalPort 3635
netstat -ano | findstr :3635

From another machine

nmap -p 3635 -sV <host>
sudo nmap -sU -p 3635 <host>
nc -zv <host> 3635

Block it in the firewall
