What is service "ismserver" listening on port 9500?
I am on Ubuntu 16.04
Upon nmap -sV localhost
, I came upon the output line 9500/tcp filtered ismserver
which I cannot recognize.
The service ismserver
listening on the port matches the IANA record, as seen on
http://www.adminsub.net/tcp-udp-port-finder/ismserver
That nmap
reports the port as filtered
probably also reflects the fact that I have denied incoming traffic on that port.
Yet, I am interested in what exactly is the service listening on the port, what it is doing, and how to disable it if possible.
May I ask if anyone might have some ideas?
Thanks heaps!
PS
locate ismserver
returns no result.Found something with similar name, but unsure if relevant: http://www.netplex-tech.com/docs/netvigil/v3.6/NetVigil%20Manual%20v3.6-19-1.html
Nothing is listening on that port. Nmap marks the port as filtered
when it gets no response. This usually doesn't happen for localhost scans, but I suppose something could have been missed. The "ismserver" service name is retrieved from a services database lookup and has no relevance to any running service, because the state of the port is not open
.
