3005

Genius License Manager (registered) / deslogin

Registered to a license manager; still labelled deslogin, a 1990s DES-encrypted remote login tool.

TCP UDP IANA: geniuslm

Description

IANA registers 3005 as geniuslm, "Genius License Manager". Nmap and older service tables instead call it deslogin, an early encrypted-symmetric replacement for telnet/rlogin from before SSH existed, which is the label most scanners will print. Neither is common today; floating license daemons are the more plausible modern occupant of the 3000-3010 range on a workstation running commercial engineering software.

Exposed to the internet?

Expose with care

If it is a license manager, it should be reachable only from the LAN that needs licenses; if it really is a pre-SSH remote login daemon, treat it as never and remove it.

Check it yourself
