873 tcp applications QNAP NAS uses the following ports:
Web server: 80,8081 TCP and 443,8080 TCP (web admin)
FTP/SFTP/SSH: 20,21,22 TCP and 13131 TCP (telnet)
Remote Replication: 873,8899 TCP
VPN server: 1723 TCP (PPTP), 1194 UDP (OpenVPN)
CloudLink: port 20001 UDP (optional, only required for access without manual port forwarding)

The ANTlabs InnGate firmware on IG 3100, IG 3101, InnGate 3.00 E, InnGate 3.01 E, InnGate 3.02 E, InnGate 3.10 E, InnGate 3.01 G, and InnGate 3.10 G devices does not require authentication for rsync sessions, which allows remote attackers to read or write to arbitrary files via TCP traffic on port 873.
References: [CVE-2015-0932]

F5 BIG-IP could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by an error within the ConfigSync Access Control Handler component. By connecting to the rsync service on TCP port 873, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to gain read or write access to the system and execute arbitrary code on the system with root privileges.

SANS Internet Storm Center: port 873

Notes:
Port numbers in computer networking represent communication endpoints. Ports are unsigned 16-bit integers (0-65535) that identify a specific process, or network service. IANA is responsible for internet protocol resources, including the registration of commonly used port numbers for well-known internet services.
Well Known Ports: 0 through 1023.
Registered Ports: 1024 through 49151.
Dynamic/Private : 49152 through 65535.

TCP ports use the Transmission Control Protocol, the most commonly used protocol on the Internet and any TCP/IP network. TCP enables two hosts to establish a connection and exchange streams of data. TCP guarantees delivery of data and that packets will be delivered in the same order in which they were sent. Guaranteed communication/delivery is the key difference between TCP and UDP.

UDP ports use the Datagram Protocol. Like TCP, UDP is used in combination with IP (the Internet Protocol) and facilitates the transmission of datagrams from one computer to applications on another computer, but unlike TCP, UDP is connectionless and does not guarantee reliable communication; it's up to the application that received the message to process any errors and verify correct delivery. UDP is often used with time-sensitive applications, such as audio/video streaming and realtime gaming, where dropping some packets is preferable to waiting for delayed data.

When troubleshooting unknown open ports, it is useful to find exactly what services/processes are listening to them. This can be accomplished in both Windows command prompt and Linux variants using the "netstat -aon" command. We also recommend runnig multiple anti-virus/anti-malware scans to rule out the possibility of active malicious software. For more detailed and personalized help please use our forums.
