Is port 3443 dangerous?

We have no specific security note for port 3443. 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 3443, and is it reachable?

Linux

sudo ss -ltnup 'sport = :3443'      # process listening on 3443
sudo lsof -nP -i :3443

macOS

sudo lsof -nP -i :3443

Windows (PowerShell)
