Internet UDP port 623 is primarily used by the Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI), a set of computer interface specifications for an autonomous computer subsystem that provides management and monitoring capabilities independently of the host system's CPU, firmware, and operating system. IPMI allows an administrator to manage multiple servers from a single location. Examples of software that use this port include Supermicro's IPMIView and Dell's iDRAC Service Module.
UDP port 623 is associated with the Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI), which allows system administrators to manage servers remotely. In the past, hackers have exploited this port to gain unauthorized access to these servers. They typically do this by using default or weak credentials, or by exploiting vulnerabilities in the IPMI protocol itself. Once they gain access, they can control the server, steal data, or launch further attacks. It's crucial to secure this port by using strong, unique passwords and keeping the IPMI firmware up to date.
