Is port 6768 dangerous?

We have no specific security note for port 6768. 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 6768, and is it reachable?

Linux

sudo ss -ltnup 'sport = :6768'      # process listening on 6768
sudo lsof -nP -i :6768

macOS

sudo lsof -nP -i :6768

Windows (PowerShell)

Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 6768 -State Listen | Select LocalAddress, OwningProcess
Get-NetUDPEndpoint -LocalPort 6768
netstat -ano | findstr :6768

From another machine

nmap -p 6768 -sV <host>
sudo nmap -sU -p 6768 <host>
nc -zv <host> 6768

Block it in the firewall

sudo ufw deny 6768/tcp                                         # Linux (ufw)

04 FAQ
What is port 6768 used for?

Port 6768 is assigned by IANA to bmc-perf-mgrd (BMC PERFORM MGRD).

Is port 6768 TCP or UDP?

Port 6768 is registered for TCP and UDP.

Is it safe to open port 6768?

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 6768 is open?

On Linux run "ss -ltnup 'sport = :6768'", on macOS "lsof -nP -i :6768", and on Windows "netstat -ano | findstr :6768" to see the local process. From another machine, "nmap -p 6768 <host>" shows whether it is reachable.
