# WHATPORT(1070)

## NAME

port 1070 — GMRUpdateSERV — Registered as GMRUpdateSERV, an update service with no public documentation.

Protocol: TCP/UDP  
IANA registry

## DESCRIPTION

IANA assigns 1070 to `gmrupdateserv`, "GMRUpdateSERV", a vendor registration whose name suggests a software-update server but for which no specification or product documentation is publicly available. Nmap sees it on about 0.04% of scanned hosts. There is nothing further that is true to say about the registered service. If 1070 is open on a machine you own, find the owning process locally rather than trusting the name.

## EXPOSURE

**Expose with care.** Unknown service. If it really is an update distribution point, an unauthenticated one is a software-supply-chain risk — identify it before exposing it anywhere.

## CHECK

```sh
nmap -Pn -sV -p 1070 TARGET
```
