Is port 716 dangerous?

We have no specific security note for port 716. 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.

04 FAQ
What is port 716 used for?

Port 716 is assigned by IANA to pana (PANA Messages).

Is port 716 TCP or UDP?

Port 716 is registered for UDP.

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 716 is open?

On Linux run "ss -ltnup 'sport = :716'", on macOS "lsof -nP -i :716", and on Windows "netstat -ano | findstr :716" to see the local process. From another machine, "nmap -p 716 <host>" shows whether it is reachable.
