What is gds_db
GDS_DB is a service that operates on port 3050 and is primarily associated with Firebird SQL, a powerful relational database management system (RDBMS). Firebird SQL is known for its high performance, small footprint, and advanced features, making it suitable for a wide range of applications, from small embedded systems to large enterprise solutions.
Firebird SQL has a rich history, originating from the InterBase database engine developed by Borland. In 2000, the source code for InterBase was released under an open-source license, leading to the creation of Firebird SQL. Since then, the Firebird community has actively developed and maintained the database, adding new features and improving performance.
GDS_DB provides efficient and reliable database management, supporting various SQL standards and offering advanced features such as multi-generational architecture, which allows for concurrent transactions without locking. This makes Firebird SQL a popular choice for developers and organizations looking for a robust and scalable database solution.
gds_db runs on TCP and UDP port 3050 and is official IANA port.Security risk
If port 3050 is open and the GDS_DB service is running, it could expose the database to unauthorized access and potential data breaches. Ensuring proper firewall rules and authentication mechanisms are in place is crucial to mitigate these risks.
In our UFW tutorial you can follow instructions how you can configure UFW to close port 3050. Use StackChanges to monitor if the gds_db port is closed and stays closed. StackChanges will send an alert if port 3050 is open again.
