Is port 6107 dangerous?

We have no specific security note for port 6107. 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 6107, and is it reachable?

Linux

sudo ss -ltnup 'sport = :6107'      # process listening on 6107
sudo lsof -nP -i :6107

macOS

sudo lsof -nP -i :6107

Windows (PowerShell)

Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 6107 -State Listen | Select LocalAddress, OwningProcess
Get-NetUDPEndpoint -LocalPort 6107
netstat -ano | findstr :6107

From another machine

nmap -p 6107 -sV <host>
sudo nmap -sU -p 6107 <host>
nc -zv <host> 6107

Block it in the firewall

sudo ufw deny 6107/tcp                                         # Linux (ufw)

04 FAQ
What is port 6107 used for?

Port 6107 is assigned by IANA to etc-control (ETC Control).

Is port 6107 TCP or UDP?

Port 6107 is registered for TCP and UDP.

Is it safe to open port 6107?

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 6107 is open?

On Linux run "ss -ltnup 'sport = :6107'", on macOS "lsof -nP -i :6107", and on Windows "netstat -ano | findstr :6107" to see the local process. From another machine, "nmap -p 6107 <host>" shows whether it is reachable.
