01 Security

Is port 7690 dangerous?

We have no specific security note for port 7690. 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 7690, and is it reachable?

Linux

sudo ss -ltnup 'sport = :7690'      # process listening on 7690
sudo lsof -nP -i :7690

macOS

sudo lsof -nP -i :7690

Windows (PowerShell)

Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 7690 -State Listen | Select LocalAddress, OwningProcess
Get-NetUDPEndpoint -LocalPort 7690
netstat -ano | findstr :7690

From another machine

nmap -p 7690 -sV <host>
nc -zv <host> 7690

Block it in the firewall

sudo ufw deny 7690/tcp                                         # Linux (ufw)
New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "Block 7690" -Direction Inbound -LocalPort 7690 -Protocol TCP -Action Block  # Windows
04 FAQ
What is port 7690 used for?

Port 7690 is assigned by IANA to sovd (Service-Oriented Vehicle Diagnostics).

Is port 7690 TCP or UDP?

Port 7690 is registered for TCP.

Is it safe to open port 7690?

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 7690 is open?

On Linux run "ss -ltnup 'sport = :7690'", on macOS "lsof -nP -i :7690", and on Windows "netstat -ano | findstr :7690" to see the local process. From another machine, "nmap -p 7690 <host>" shows whether it is reachable.
