Agilent Connectivity Service (registered)

IANA-registered to Agilent's Connectivity Service; you meet it on lab instrument workstations, nowhere else.

TCP UDP IANA: amcs

Description

IANA lists 8766 on TCP and UDP as amcs, the Agilent Connectivity Service. It belongs to Agilent's instrument-control software stack, so it shows up on scientific and manufacturing workstations that talk to lab hardware. Outside that niche the port has no common squatter, and a listener on a general-purpose server is worth identifying by process rather than by the registry name.

Exposed to the internet?

Expose with care

Instrument-control services belong on a lab network, not a routable one; there is no reason for this to answer from the internet.

Check it yourself

$ sudo lsof -nP -iTCP:8766 -sTCP:LISTEN
