Registered in 2004 as "Dev Consortium Utility"; the registration is the entire public record.
IANA assigns 1044 to dcutility, described as "Dev Consortium Utility", registered in November 2004 to an individual assignee with no reference document. No protocol specification or implementation is publicly available. In the field, 1044 behaves like the rest of the 1025-5000 band on older Windows systems — a dynamically allocated RPC endpoint — or simply a free port some application claimed.
Expose with care
Nothing documented behind the name; treat an open 1044 as unidentified and trace it to a process first.
