01 Security

Is port 3702 dangerous?

We have no specific security note for port 3702. Its risk depends on the program actually listening on it. General advice for web services:

  • Serve it over HTTPS only and check the HTTP security headers.
  • Keep admin consoles and development servers off the Internet.
  • Patch the application server and remove default credentials and sample apps.

03 Check it

Which program uses port 3702, and is it reachable?

Linux

sudo ss -ltnup 'sport = :3702'      # process listening on 3702
sudo lsof -nP -i :3702

macOS

sudo lsof -nP -i :3702

Windows (PowerShell)

Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 3702 -State Listen | Select LocalAddress, OwningProcess
Get-NetUDPEndpoint -LocalPort 3702
netstat -ano | findstr :3702

From another machine

nmap -p 3702 -sV <host>
sudo nmap -sU -p 3702 <host>
nc -zv <host> 3702

Block it in the firewall

sudo ufw deny 3702/tcp                                         # Linux (ufw)
New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "Block 3702" -Direction Inbound -LocalPort 3702 -Protocol TCP -Action Block  # Windows
04 FAQ
What is port 3702 used for?

Port 3702 is assigned by IANA to ws-discovery (Web Service Discovery).

Is port 3702 TCP or UDP?

Port 3702 is registered for TCP and UDP.

Is it safe to open port 3702?

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. Serve it over HTTPS only and check the HTTP security headers.

How do I check if port 3702 is open?

On Linux run "ss -ltnup 'sport = :3702'", on macOS "lsof -nP -i :3702", and on Windows "netstat -ano | findstr :3702" to see the local process. From another machine, "nmap -p 3702 <host>" shows whether it is reachable.
