# WHATPORT(1040)

## NAME

port 1040 — netarx (Netarx Netcare) — Registered in 2008 to Netarx for its "Netcare" product — a vendor management service with no public spec.

Protocol: TCP/UDP  
IANA registry

## DESCRIPTION

IANA assigns 1040 to `netarx`, described as "Netarx Netcare", registered in April 2008. Netarx was a US network services company and Netcare was its managed-monitoring offering; no protocol documentation or implementation is publicly available. As elsewhere in this band, an open 1040 on a scan is far more likely to be a dynamically assigned endpoint on a legacy Windows host than the registered product.

## EXPOSURE

**Expose with care.** A vendor monitoring agent, if that is what is really listening, is an administrative surface — keep it on a management network rather than the internet.

## CHECK

```sh
nmap -Pn -sV -p 1040 TARGET
```
