Identifying an application using network

  • 772

When I ran the following command sudo netstat -lantp | grep -i stab | awk -F/ '{print $2 $3}' | sort | uniq on the terminal to check which applications are using the network connection, I got the following output

firefox
prx

I cannot recognize what prx is. Can someone please tell me what type of application is it.

networking

    The Prey security and endpoint management system (https://preyproject.com/) names its application "prx" (at least it does on my Ubuntu 19.10)
