Is port 36412 dangerous?

We have no specific security note for port 36412. 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 36412, and is it reachable?

Linux

sudo ss -ltnup 'sport = :36412'      # process listening on 36412
sudo lsof -nP -i :36412

macOS

sudo lsof -nP -i :36412

04 FAQ
What is port 36412 used for?

Port 36412 is assigned by IANA to s1-control (S1-Control Plane (3GPP)).

Is port 36412 TCP or UDP?

Port 36412 is registered for SCTP.

Is it safe to open port 36412?

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 36412 is open?

On Linux run "ss -ltnup 'sport = :36412'", on macOS "lsof -nP -i :36412", and on Windows "netstat -ano | findstr :36412" to see the local process. From another machine, "nmap -p 36412 <host>" shows whether it is reachable.
