Technical Details

what runs on :7000

AFS file-server operations use the Rx remote-procedure-call protocol, conventionally over UDP; the IANA assignment covers both TCP and UDP. Clients establish an Rx connection and use AFS operations to access volumes, with authentication commonly provided by Rxkad and AFS tokens. Related AFS service ports include 7001 for the callback service, 7002 for the protection service, and 7003 for the volume-location service; exact port use can vary by implementation.

security overview

An exposed AFS file server reveals a sensitive distributed filesystem endpoint and may permit authenticated clients to access data according to AFS ACLs. Traditional AFS deployments commonly authenticate and integrity-protect traffic without encrypting all file contents by default, so this port should generally be restricted to trusted cell networks or protected with appropriate network controls.
