What is /usr/libexec/rapportd?
After update to 10.13.2 Firewall asked whether I want to allow network access.
Is it from apple?
If not-where does it come from? The only thing I found was that Trusteer has a tool named rapport but I did not install it (maybe in combination with another product but not that I am aware of).

Hello whstlblwr,
Yes. You are correct. There is a lot of confusion over this issue because there is a 3rd party security product called "Trusteer Rapport" that banks have been pushing on their customers for years. I'm not sure what Trusteer Rapport does, but it sure doesn't protect against adware. Here is a great example showing a truly scary amount of adware installed right alongside Trusteer Rapport: EtreCheck has detected infected adware, should I delete files?
Unfortunately, in macOS Sierra, Apple introduced a new background process and named it "rapportd". That was the source of the confusion in this thread. I've seen similar confusion in other threads.
Cryptocurrencies? Seriously? Does no CPU whatsoever and only connects to local IP addresses (so far, as reported by Little Snitch on my computer). Hardly relevant to cryptocurrencies!
IBM rapportd is not applicable nor associated in this thread. I'd be talking about an Apple-provided rapportd.
As am I.
I have NEVER installed the "IBM" version; it was the only information I found after Google searching information about the process.
so much discussion. Can anyone just tell us whether to allow or deny? or some other action like uninstall something?
thank you neliason. It just started happening to me today.
192.168.*.* is a private IP address. That should be your own local network. Im pretty sure a device, like your iPhone or iPad, on your network is requesting access.
All 192.168.x.x addresses are local addresses. Uninstall your antivirus app. It is not needed and may cause issues or alert on false positives.
Uninstall Norton.
It is starting to look like AirPlay 2.0 related crap.
That’s what I just said.
