6504

Unassigned

Unassigned by IANA, immediately above the registered BoKS block.

TCP IANA registry

Description

The registry shows 6504 as unassigned. Its only context is the neighbourhood: 6500-6503 carry the BoKS access-control daemons, and a BoKS domain configured with a base port a few numbers higher would land traffic here. Nothing is registered or documented as owning 6504 itself, so a listener is either a shifted BoKS block or unrelated software that grabbed a free port.

Expose with care

No registration to reason from — identify the process first. If it turns out to be a BoKS daemon, treat it as a control plane and keep it internal.

Check it yourself

$ sudo lsof -nP -iTCP:6504 -sTCP:LISTEN
