What is rapportd? In /usr/libexec/rapportd After update to 10.13.2 Firewall asked about it

Yes cryptocurrency. Was used for banking via IBM in the past. I believe now it's part of Google Chrome and their effort to add google wallet with block chain options. I haven't reinstalled Chrome on my wiped Sierra and no rapportd. However my MacBook Pro is now running it, and it also asked me to update "Command Line Tools (MacOS High Sierra version 10.13) for xCode. When I do not have xCode on the MacBook Pro. Aft6er work thats being wiped as well. Sierra is going back on the Pro too.

Your iPhone tries to connect to macOS via this "rapportd" .. CONSTANTLY. And I do have banking info, etc on my phone. And btw stop relying on little snitch. I used to use it until it became a bloated vulnerable piece of junk, try Pat's LuLu. Does the same thing as little snitch. Search LuLu firewall for macOS.

I think you are talking about a different rapportd (as others have mentioned above). I have no online banking, no Google chrome yet I suffered this notification/question immediately on upgrading to 10.13.2.

The IBM/others Rapport system is an installable package (links to it earlier in the thread)

No.

I'm just trying to the most logical conclusion. I did NOT install any packages and or repository which included the rapportd application. I did however have Google Chrome on my MacBook Air and MacBook Pro. Last night I did the old add bios/firmware pass so your machine is FORCED to do a clean reinstall back to its "out of the box OS". My pro is a bit older "late 2014" so I ended up with Mavericks! I had to upgrade to Yosemite but I think I'm staying there. it literally has every function Sierra has i.e airplay, handoff, and all of that other crap. Yet there is only ONE outgoing connection while idle. It's also secure. I read a lot about Yosemite last night and some people say it was the last "good" release. When Apple took their time and only released something once a year. I need to look into El Capitan, however it seems as though you don't get much added on the user end.

Like I said my Air is running Sierra, however that's due to the fact it's newer and I can't go back any farther unless I install from a USB. That may break my warranty though.

Firewall isn't notifying me, but Norton Antivirus says a server at 192.168.200.111 is requesting access to rapportd. Domain search for 192.168.200.111 gives me suspicious results. WhoIS search says it is in Rome Italy. I blocked it. What is going on?

Norton Antivirus notified me that a server at 192.168.200.111 was trying to access my rapportd. A WhoIs search for that address says it is a private server in Rome, Italy. A Traceroute on whoisip.ovh had 30 steps, three of them in France and the rest not clear to me. I just had Norton block access.

I'm a low-end user, and have this problem, too. Running High Sierra. Also Norton security stuff. I get repeated messages that a computer with a slightly different IP address than my own is trying to access. Should I be concerned that there is an attempt at unauthorized access to my system? Thanks.

Yesterday I upgraded to 10.13.3 (it took very long, say more than an hour).

One hour ago my iMac froze, this was, until now, very exceptional.

After switching on, this little monster appeared asking to receive icomming data. NO WAY.

I am not running Norton.

I have a fairly limited knowlege of how MacOS works, and my suspicion is based on activity and interactions between rapportd and some other system processes, so i may be way off.. however, from what information there is known about it, is it possible that rapportd is a system process which allows other network devices access to parts of the operating system which would usually require authentication? And does so without user interaction?

The name would be sort of appropriate if that was the case too.

Needed to reply to my first post on this discussion. I love stock markets etc.. and I have been saying for the past 9 months if Apple doesn't expand into a new arena they are going to bleed a trillion dollar death. They obviously don't care about personal computing anymore; focusing mainly on the iPad and super high end iMac's. With that being said and all of these RANDOM processes being run from our machines collecting data with no plan or focused way to monetize this data a new "division" needs to be created.

I've always thought something with healthcare due to all info they've been collecting on users from their iPhones for years now. But they have released something even simpler and better. Paired with Geisinger a U.S based healthcare provider in the north east. Apple is releasing an app which will allow you to get all of your medical records immediately. Wow! Lol.. Where I am from (Philly) it's a difficult process to get your medical docs.

A baby's first steps. Now what does rapportd do... oh yea it's something to do with Airplay 2.0! Involving the Homepod / Apple TV / etc ..

This isn't Windows. Norton is probably not helping you. I assume when you say "a slightly different IP address", it means something like your Mac is 192.168.1.10 and the other computer is 192.168.1.15, means that it's something on your local network. 192.168.x.x addresses are private - they can't be routed across the Internet. Meaning that it's not someone coming in from outside. (Same private routing applies to 10.x.x.x and 172.16.x.x-172.31.x.x networks) The fact that Norton doesn't seem to understand that the other device is on the same network segment, and doesn't know what kind of device it is communicating with, illustrates that it's not very useful.

If it is Apple then why after my update did it give me this error :

"Rapportd" is not optimized for your Mac.

This app needs to be updated by its developer to improve compatibility.

I have never installed a banking app on this laptop. I do have chrome. I never use it.

Also rapportd is NOT mentioned in their Mac OSX 10.3.2 Release Notes either.

happened to me too. came up every few minutes and got annoying so blocked it. was that the right ides?

I think we are discussing a completely different daemon! (so afraid article is not relevant). Just happens to have same name as the IBM/banking system app few have installed.

I wish I had thought of that. 😉
