01 Security

Is port 6702 dangerous?

We have no specific security note for port 6702. 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 6702, and is it reachable?

Linux

sudo ss -ltnup 'sport = :6702'      # process listening on 6702
sudo lsof -nP -i :6702

macOS

sudo lsof -nP -i :6702

Windows (PowerShell)

Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 6702 -State Listen | Select LocalAddress, OwningProcess
Get-NetUDPEndpoint -LocalPort 6702
netstat -ano | findstr :6702

From another machine

nmap -p 6702 -sV <host>
sudo nmap -sU -p 6702 <host>
nc -zv <host> 6702

Block it in the firewall

sudo ufw deny 6702/tcp                                         # Linux (ufw)
New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "Block 6702" -Direction Inbound -LocalPort 6702 -Protocol TCP -Action Block  # Windows
04 FAQ
What is port 6702 used for?

Port 6702 is assigned by IANA to e-design-net (e-Design network).

Is port 6702 TCP or UDP?

Port 6702 is registered for TCP and UDP.

Is it safe to open port 6702?

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 6702 is open?

On Linux run "ss -ltnup 'sport = :6702'", on macOS "lsof -nP -i :6702", and on Windows "netstat -ano | findstr :6702" to see the local process. From another machine, "nmap -p 6702 <host>" shows whether it is reachable.
