objectmanager (registration only)

Registered as objectmanager with no documentation and no known implementation.

TCP UDP IANA registry

Description

The IANA registry lists objectmanager on TCP and UDP 2038 with an empty description, assignee and reference. Nothing well-known listens here, and Nmap's data shows it open on about 0.02% of scanned hosts. The generic name attracts guesses about CIM/WBEM object managers, but those services register elsewhere (5988/5989); the 2038 entry has no published protocol behind it.

Exposed to the internet?

Expose with care

Treat a listener here as unidentified software. Whatever is answering is not the registry name, so judge exposure by the actual process.

Check it yourself

$ sudo lsof -nP -iTCP:2038 -sTCP:LISTEN
