Is port 3587 dangerous?

We have no specific security note for port 3587. 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 3587, and is it reachable?

Linux

sudo ss -ltnup 'sport = :3587'      # process listening on 3587
sudo lsof -nP -i :3587

macOS

sudo lsof -nP -i :3587

Windows (PowerShell)

Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 3587 -State Listen | Select LocalAddress, OwningProcess
Get-NetUDPEndpoint -LocalPort 3587
netstat -ano | findstr :3587

From another machine

nmap -p 3587 -sV <host>
sudo nmap -sU -p 3587 <host>
nc -zv <host> 3587

Block it in the firewall

sudo ufw deny 3587/tcp                                         # Linux (ufw)
New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "Block 3587" -Direction Inbound -LocalPort 3587 -Protocol TCP -Action Block  # Windows
04 FAQ
What is port 3587 used for?

Port 3587 is assigned by IANA to p2pgroup (Peer to Peer Grouping).

Is port 3587 TCP or UDP?

Port 3587 is registered for TCP and UDP.

Is it safe to open port 3587?

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 3587 is open?

On Linux run "ss -ltnup 'sport = :3587'", on macOS "lsof -nP -i :3587", and on Windows "netstat -ano | findstr :3587" to see the local process. From another machine, "nmap -p 3587 <host>" shows whether it is reachable.
