# WHATPORT(1045)

## NAME

port 1045 — fpitp (Fingerprint Image Transfer Protocol) — Registered in 2002 for a Fingerprint Image Transfer Protocol; no specification was ever published.

Protocol: TCP/UDP  
IANA registry

## DESCRIPTION

IANA assigns 1045 to `fpitp`, the "Fingerprint Image Transfer Protocol", registered in February 2002 to an individual with no reference document attached. The name suggests biometric image transfer between capture devices and matching systems, but with no published spec that is inference rather than fact. As with the rest of this range, most open 1045 ports belong to something else entirely, typically a dynamic RPC endpoint on a pre-Vista Windows host.

## EXPOSURE

**Do not expose.** If a service here really is moving biometric images, that is sensitive personal data on an undocumented protocol — it belongs on an isolated network, never on a public IP.

## CHECK

```sh
nmap -Pn -sV -p 1045 TARGET
```
