Apple deploys network sniffer
In recent Apple Mac OSX 10.13.2 system update, a new daemon called 'rapportd' has been found to do the following:
* It is an undocumented 'Rapport Connectivity Framework' (RCF),
* Port 49158/tcp
* It is not power-friendly, wakes up the entire box too often
* systemstat starts this rapportd daemon
* RCF is a multi-client chatty protocol
* iPhone and iPad makes effort to connect with iMac
It's ill-conceived and not well thought out.
