Ident


Nmap discovered a Ident service on the target port 113 The running service is FreeBSD identd

The Ident Protocol is is an Internet protocol that helps identify the user of a particular TCP connection. One popular daemon program for providing the ident service is identd. It’s designed to work as a server daemon, on a user’s computer, where it receives requests to a specified TCP port, generally 113. In the query, a client specifies a pair of TCP ports (a local and a remote port), encoded as ASCII decimals and separated by a comma (,). The server then sends a response that identifies the username of the user who runs the program that uses the specified pair of TCP ports, or specifies an error.
