TCP 3050

ProtocolTCP
Port3050
Labelsgds-db (Interbase/Firebird databases)

Synopsis

  • TCP port 3050 is IANA-registered as gds_db and is the default listener for the Firebird relational database server.
  • Borland/Embarcadero InterBase also uses TCP 3050 by default for its client/server connections.
  • Real-world clients and admin tools that connect on 3050 include FlameRobin, IBExpert, EMS SQL Manager for InterBase/Firebird, the Firebird isql/gbak utilities, and the Jaybird JDBC driver.
  • Many commercial applications that embed Firebird or InterBase expose their database service on 3050 unless reconfigured.
  • Security note: Attackers commonly scan port 3050 to identify exposed Firebird/InterBase services and attempt credential or known-vulnerability exploitation; restrict exposure and patch regularly.
