IBM Trusteer Rapport... Daemons... Is rapportd part of Trusteer or an Apple MacOS Daemon?

Working here on problems arising from IBM Trusteer Rapport security software.

Problem: Their daemon rooksd has 60,000 ports open; mac slowed to a crawl.

Question: Is the daemon rapportd part of Trusteer or is it an Apple MacOS daemon? Other comments here say it's Apple. But, IBM Trusteer support says it's theirs.

Solution 1:

rapportd, or at least /usr/libexec/rapportd, is an Apple macOS daemon. From the man page:

Daemon that enables Phone Call Handoff and other communication features between Apple devices.

By examining RapportUninstaller.sh, the expected locations for Trusteer Rapport's rapportd are:

• /Library/Rapport/bin/rapportd.app/Contents/MacOS/rapportd
• /Library/Rapport/bin/rapportd
