Technical Details

what runs on :1118

SACRED is registered on both TCP and UDP port 1118. The protocol is designed for a client to authenticate to a credential server and retrieve or update opaque credential data; deployments are expected to protect exchanges with TLS or equivalent transport security, while the stored credential bundle can remain opaque to the server. It is a specialized, rarely deployed protocol rather than a general-purpose file or authentication service, so an open port should be verified against the implementation rather than assumed to speak SACRED.

security overview

A reachable SACRED service represents a credential repository and should not normally be exposed directly to the public Internet. Attackers could attempt authentication attacks, enumerate service behavior, or exploit an implementation to obtain stored credentials; restrict access to authorized clients, require strong authentication, keep the implementation current, and monitor failed access attempts.
