01 Security

Is port 3835 dangerous?

We have no specific security note for port 3835. Its risk depends on the program actually listening on it. General advice for databases & caches services:

  • Bind the service to localhost or a private network, never to a public address.
  • Enable authentication, use per-application accounts and require TLS.
  • Watch for exposed Docker ports: publish them on 127.0.0.1 only.

03 Check it

Which program uses port 3835, and is it reachable?

Linux

sudo ss -ltnup 'sport = :3835'      # process listening on 3835
sudo lsof -nP -i :3835

macOS

sudo lsof -nP -i :3835

Windows (PowerShell)

Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 3835 -State Listen | Select LocalAddress, OwningProcess
Get-NetUDPEndpoint -LocalPort 3835
netstat -ano | findstr :3835

From another machine

nmap -p 3835 -sV <host>
sudo nmap -sU -p 3835 <host>
nc -zv <host> 3835

Block it in the firewall

sudo ufw deny 3835/tcp                                         # Linux (ufw)
New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "Block 3835" -Direction Inbound -LocalPort 3835 -Protocol TCP -Action Block  # Windows
04 FAQ
What is port 3835 used for?

Port 3835 is assigned by IANA to spectardb (Spectar Database Rights Service).

Is port 3835 TCP or UDP?

Port 3835 is registered for TCP and UDP.

Is it safe to open port 3835?

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. Bind the service to localhost or a private network, never to a public address.

How do I check if port 3835 is open?

On Linux run "ss -ltnup 'sport = :3835'", on macOS "lsof -nP -i :3835", and on Windows "netstat -ano | findstr :3835" to see the local process. From another machine, "nmap -p 3835 <host>" shows whether it is reachable.
