Is port 6370 dangerous?

We have no specific security note for port 6370. 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.

03 Check it

Which program uses port 6370, and is it reachable?

Linux

sudo ss -ltnup 'sport = :6370'      # process listening on 6370
sudo lsof -nP -i :6370

macOS

sudo lsof -nP -i :6370

Windows (PowerShell)

Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 6370 -State Listen | Select LocalAddress, OwningProcess
Get-NetUDPEndpoint -LocalPort 6370
netstat -ano | findstr :6370

From another machine

nmap -p 6370 -sV <host>
sudo nmap -sU -p 6370 <host>
nc -zv <host> 6370

Block it in the firewall

sudo ufw deny 6370/tcp                                         # Linux (ufw)
New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "Block 6370" -Direction Inbound -LocalPort 6370 -Protocol TCP -Action Block  # Windows

What is port 6370 used for?

Port 6370 is assigned by IANA to metaedit-se (MetaEdit+ Server Administration).

Is port 6370 TCP or UDP?

Port 6370 is registered for TCP and UDP.

Is it safe to open port 6370?

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 6370 is open?

On Linux run "ss -ltnup 'sport = :6370'", on macOS "lsof -nP -i :6370", and on Windows "netstat -ano | findstr :6370" to see the local process. From another machine, "nmap -p 6370 <host>" shows whether it is reachable.
