Is port 3223 dangerous?

We have no specific security note for port 3223. 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 3223, and is it reachable?

Linux

sudo ss -ltnup 'sport = :3223'      # process listening on 3223
sudo lsof -nP -i :3223

macOS

sudo lsof -nP -i :3223

Windows (PowerShell)

Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 3223 -State Listen | Select LocalAddress, OwningProcess
Get-NetUDPEndpoint -LocalPort 3223
netstat -ano | findstr :3223

From another machine

nmap -p 3223 -sV <host>
sudo nmap -sU -p 3223 <host>
nc -zv <host> 3223

Block it in the firewall

sudo ufw deny 3223/tcp                                         # Linux (ufw)

What is port 3223 used for?

Port 3223 is assigned by IANA to digivote (DIGIVOTE (R) Vote-Server).

Is port 3223 TCP or UDP?

Port 3223 is registered for TCP and UDP.

Is it safe to open port 3223?

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 3223 is open?

On Linux run "ss -ltnup 'sport = :3223'", on macOS "lsof -nP -i :3223", and on Windows "netstat -ano | findstr :3223" to see the local process. From another machine, "nmap -p 3223 <host>" shows whether it is reachable.
