Nucleus Sand Database Server

IANA-registered to the Nucleus Sand database server; a historical assignment you will rarely encounter.

TCP UDP IANA registry

Description

Port 1201 is registered on TCP and UDP as nucleus-sand, "Nucleus Sand Database Server", assigned to James Marsh. The Sand analytic database (later Sand Technology's Nucleus/SAND CDBMS) is a niche column-store product with no current public protocol documentation at this port. There is nothing else well documented that habitually squats here, so an open 1201 on a modern host is almost certainly an unrelated program that grabbed a free registered port.

Expose with care

If this really is a database listener it belongs on a private network; if it is not, identify the process before leaving it reachable.

Check it yourself

$ sudo lsof -nP -iTCP:1201 -sTCP:LISTEN
