01 Security

Is port 3690 dangerous?

We have no specific security note for port 3690. 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 3690, and is it reachable?

Linux

sudo ss -ltnup 'sport = :3690'      # process listening on 3690
sudo lsof -nP -i :3690

macOS

sudo lsof -nP -i :3690

Windows (PowerShell)

Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 3690 -State Listen | Select LocalAddress, OwningProcess
Get-NetUDPEndpoint -LocalPort 3690
netstat -ano | findstr :3690

From another machine

nmap -p 3690 -sV <host>
sudo nmap -sU -p 3690 <host>
nc -zv <host> 3690

Block it in the firewall

sudo ufw deny 3690/tcp                                         # Linux (ufw)

04 FAQ
What is port 3690 used for?

Port 3690 is assigned by IANA to svn (Subversion).

Is port 3690 TCP or UDP?

Port 3690 is registered for TCP and UDP.

Is it safe to open port 3690?

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 3690 is open?

On Linux run "ss -ltnup 'sport = :3690'", on macOS "lsof -nP -i :3690", and on Windows "netstat -ano | findstr :3690" to see the local process. From another machine, "nmap -p 3690 <host>" shows whether it is reachable.
