Technical Details

what runs on :2346

The assignment covers both TCP and UDP and identifies the game-session connection or joining path for Red Storm multiplayer software. Traffic uses a proprietary, unencrypted game protocol rather than a general-purpose service; the exact handshake and any companion ports depend on the game and version. The port alone does not identify a particular Red Storm title, and IANA marks the entry as an alias of redstorm-join and historic.

security overview

Legacy game traffic is not encrypted or designed as a hardened Internet-facing service. Any remaining listener should normally be restricted to trusted players or a private gaming network; exposing it can permit unsolicited game-protocol interaction, denial of service, or exploitation of weaknesses in old game-server code, although the service is rarely encountered today.
