dxmessagebase2 (registered)

Registered as the DX Message Base Transport Protocol, and almost never seen.

TCP UDP IANA: dxmessagebase2

Description

IANA registers 2874 and 2875 to one person as dxmessagebase1 and dxmessagebase2, "DX Message Base Transport Protocol" — a message-base (BBS-style message store) transport. There is no public specification and no widely distributed implementation, and scan datasets show essentially nothing answering here. If 2875 is open on a host you run, the listener is some local application that picked a free port, not this registration.

Expose with care

Nothing standard lives here, so the honest step is to identify the process behind the port before treating it as expected.

Check it yourself

$ sudo lsof -nP -iTCP:2875 -sTCP:LISTEN
