Port 1419

Timbuktu Pro is a remote desktop software originally developed for Macintosh computers, later extended to Windows, enabling remote screen control, file transfer, and collaboration. The software utilizes multiple ports for its various services, with port 1419 designated as 'Timbuktu Service 3'—one of several ports facilitating its connection management.

Technically, Timbuktu employs both TCP and UDP transport protocols for communication. Port 1419 typically handles part of the control or command traffic, coordinating user session data transmission alongside other associated service ports (such as 1417 and 1418). This segmentation allows the software to manage multiple simultaneous activities, including screen sharing, file transfer, remote control commands, and chat.

Despite its robust feature set at its peak, Timbuktu has diminished in use with the advent of more modern remote access solutions. It lacks advanced encryption or modern network protocols, relying instead on a straightforward client-server communication model across defined ports such as 1419, making it less suitable for contemporary secure environments.
