Is port 4390 dangerous?

We have no specific security note for port 4390. 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 4390, and is it reachable?

Linux

sudo ss -ltnup 'sport = :4390'      # process listening on 4390
sudo lsof -nP -i :4390

macOS

sudo lsof -nP -i :4390

Windows (PowerShell)

Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 4390 -State Listen | Select LocalAddress, OwningProcess
Get-NetUDPEndpoint -LocalPort 4390
netstat -ano | findstr :4390

From another machine

nmap -p 4390 -sV <host>
sudo nmap -sU -p 4390 <host>
nc -zv <host> 4390

Block it in the firewall

sudo ufw deny 4390/tcp                                         # Linux (ufw)
New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "Block 4390" -Direction Inbound -LocalPort 4390 -Protocol TCP -Action Block  # Windows
04 FAQ
What is port 4390 used for?

Port 4390 is assigned by IANA to wiegand (Physical Access Control).

Is port 4390 TCP or UDP?

Port 4390 is registered for TCP and UDP.

Is it safe to open port 4390?

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 4390 is open?

On Linux run "ss -ltnup 'sport = :4390'", on macOS "lsof -nP -i :4390", and on Windows "netstat -ano | findstr :4390" to see the local process. From another machine, "nmap -p 4390 <host>" shows whether it is reachable.
