SynchroNet-db

Registered to SynchroNet-db; rarely seen in the wild.

TCP UDP IANA registry

Description

IANA lists 6100 TCP and UDP as synchronet-db, "SynchroNet-db", registered to Arne Haugland, and the same entry is copied into the /etc/services file on most Unix systems. There is no public protocol specification and no widely deployed open-source implementation, so a scanner labelling 6100 as "SynchroNet-db" is reading the registry, not fingerprinting the service. If you find it listening, identify the process on the host rather than trusting the name — this is a plausible port for an in-house or vendor application to squat on.

Expose with care

You cannot make a defensible call on a port whose actual occupant is unidentified; find the process, then decide. Treat an unknown listener on a public interface as something to close until it is explained.

Check it yourself

$ sudo lsof -nP -iTCP:6100 -sTCP:LISTEN
