fpscand Virus Scanner
Port 10200 is primarily used by FRISK Software International's fpscand, a virus scanning daemon designed for Unix platforms. fpscand acts as a backend antivirus engine that integrates with various email and file transfer systems to perform on-demand and real-time scanning of files and data streams. Its main role is to identify and block malicious content before it reaches end-users or sensitive system components..
fpscand is a daemon process designed by FRISK Software International to deliver robust virus scanning capabilities on Unix operating systems. It operates as a network-accessible malware scanning service, often integrated with mail servers, web gateways, or file transfer applications. By leveraging network communication, fpscand enables centralized scanning, which simplifies management across distributed systems.
Typically, applications route email attachments, web uploads, or transferred files to fpscand via an API or using a standardized protocol over TCP port 10200. fpscand processes these inputs and returns detection results, enabling the connected services to automatically quarantine, clean, or reject infected content. This modular integration method streamlines security controls without heavily modifying existing infrastructures.
fpscand supports signature-based detection using up-to-date virus definitions maintained by FRISK, alongside heuristic analyses to identify emerging threats. Its lightweight daemon nature minimizes system resource usage, ensuring compatibility even with constrained environments while maintaining efficient scanning throughput.
