# WHATPORT(1042)

## NAME

port 1042 — afrog (Subnet Roaming) — Registered in 2004 as "Subnet Roaming" under the name afrog; no specification exists publicly.

Protocol: TCP/UDP  
IANA registry

## DESCRIPTION

IANA assigns 1042 to `afrog`, described as "Subnet Roaming", registered in November 2004 to an individual with no reference document. Nothing about the protocol's wire format or purpose beyond that phrase is public. On a scan, 1042 is best read as an unassigned low port: legacy Windows allocates RPC endpoints in this range, and ordinary software binds here opportunistically.

## EXPOSURE

**Expose with care.** Undocumented registration, so there is nothing to evaluate — find the process before deciding exposure.

## CHECK

```sh
nc -vz TARGET 1042
```
