Is port 6769 dangerous?

We have no specific security note for port 6769. 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 6769, and is it reachable?

Linux

sudo ss -ltnup 'sport = :6769'      # process listening on 6769
sudo lsof -nP -i :6769

macOS

sudo lsof -nP -i :6769

Windows (PowerShell)

Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 6769 -State Listen | Select LocalAddress, OwningProcess
Get-NetUDPEndpoint -LocalPort 6769
netstat -ano | findstr :6769

From another machine

nmap -p 6769 -sV <host>
sudo nmap -sU -p 6769 <host>
nc -zv <host> 6769

Block it in the firewall

sudo ufw deny 6769/tcp                                         # Linux (ufw)

What is port 6769 used for?

Port 6769 is assigned by IANA to adi-gxp-srvprt (ADInstruments GxP Server).

Is port 6769 TCP or UDP?

Port 6769 is registered for TCP and UDP.

Is it safe to open port 6769?

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 6769 is open?

On Linux run "ss -ltnup 'sport = :6769'", on macOS "lsof -nP -i :6769", and on Windows "netstat -ano | findstr :6769" to see the local process. From another machine, "nmap -p 6769 <host>" shows whether it is reachable.
