Technical Details

what runs on :2092

Descent 3 assigns port 2092 for multiplayer traffic over both TCP and UDP. A Descent 3 server listens for game clients and exchanges session and gameplay data using the game's proprietary protocol; normal deployments use the game's default port, although server operators can change it. The traffic is not a general-purpose control or file-transfer protocol and is specific to Descent 3 multiplayer sessions.

udp is connectionless — source addresses are trivially spoofed and it is a reflection favourite

security overview

Descent 3 traffic is not encrypted by default. Internet exposure should be limited to an intentionally hosted game server and restricted with firewall rules where possible; unsolicited traffic can consume server resources or probe an old game implementation for weaknesses. It does not provide administrative access by itself, but the aging software should be isolated and kept off hosts containing sensitive services.
