Weirdness

During the Clusterfuck and website crashes I noticed this connection to my computer, Q.
Q:(N) specifies a specific port or protocol; :http, :ssl, :ssh, :ftp, :telnet, :23, :70, :194, :443, :660, etc.

As you can see the red underlined connection is named kpop. Like, Korean Pop? I've never seen this before. The two top connections are for "google hangout". I wasn't connected to anything when I did this scan, nor have I had anything to do with "google hangouts". But, those two are connected via port 5222:


XMPP
Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP) is a communications protocol for message-oriented middleware based on XML (Extensible Markup Language). The protocol was originally named Jabber, and was developed by the Jabber open-source community in 1999 for near real-time, instant messaging (IM), presence information, and contact list maintenance. Designed to be extensible, the protocol has also been used for publish-subscribe systems, signalling for VoIP, video, file transfer, gaming, Internet of Things (IoT) applications such as the smart grid, and social networking services.

Port #s.

I'm infinitely fascinated by this.

Solved mid-post. Kerberos is kpop...

Hehehe
