Unassigned

No IANA registration and no common software — an open 9098 is whatever someone put there.

TCP IANA registry

Description

9098 is unassigned in the IANA service name and port number registry, and nmap's services file lists it as unknown with a very low observed frequency. There is no standard protocol, no default daemon, and no well-documented malware association to report. If you find it open, the answer comes from the host itself: a service-version scan or the process listening on the box.

Exposed to the internet?

Expose with care

The verdict depends entirely on what is actually bound there; identify the service before deciding, and do not assume an unregistered high port is harmless.

Check it yourself

$ nmap -sV -Pn -p 9098 TARGET
