What actually answers is Apple's base station admin service: AirPort Utility talks to an AirPort Express, Extreme, or Time Capsule on TCP 5009 to read and write its configuration. Apple discontinued the AirPort line in 2018, so a listener today is an old base station still in service — and the port is a reliable fingerprint for one.",
