pds — Ping Discovery Service

Registered as the Ping Discovery Service, the discovery half of the LANDesk/Ivanti agent port group.

TCP UDP IANA registry

Description

IANA registers 9595 as pds, "Ping Discovery Service". It is the port a management core server probes to decide whether a host is alive and carrying the agent, which is why it appears alongside 9593 (cba8) and 9594 on managed Windows machines. Nmap's database records it under the same name with the alternate spelling "Ping Discovery System". Like the rest of the group, there is no public wire specification.

Do not expose

A discovery responder tells anyone who asks that a managed agent is present and reachable. Keep it off untrusted networks.

$ sudo lsof -nP -iTCP:9595 -sTCP:LISTEN
