67 DHCP Server

DHCP servers assign IP leases and hand out network configuration to clients on boot.

Security Context

Port 67 is context-dependent. Its risk depends on the daemon behind it, whether the traffic is encrypted, and how tightly the listener is scoped to trusted networks.

Nmap Check

Use a version probe first so you confirm whether the expected service is really what is listening on this port.

nmap -sU -p 67 <host>

Firewall Commands
