# WHATPORT(1048)

## NAME

port 1048 — neod2 (Sun NEO Object Request Broker) — The companion port to 1047, registered to the same discontinued Sun NEO ORB.

Protocol: TCP/UDP  
IANA registry

## DESCRIPTION

IANA assigns 1048 to `neod2`, the second "Sun's NEO Object Request Broker" entry, registered to an individual with no date and no reference document. Sun's NEO distributed-object product dates from the 1990s and has been gone for many years, so the pair 1047/1048 is a historical registration rather than a live service. As with its neighbours in the 1025-5000 band, anything actually listening on 1048 is more likely a dynamically assigned RPC endpoint or an application that picked a free low port.

## EXPOSURE

**Expose with care.** No live protocol behind the registration; identify the owning process before assuming an open 1048 is harmless.

## CHECK

```sh
sudo lsof -nP -iTCP:1048 -sTCP:LISTEN
```
