iSCSI target

iSCSI — raw SCSI block storage over TCP, the port every SAN target listens on.

TCP IANA registry

Description

TCP 3260 is the IANA-registered iSCSI target port from RFC 7143: initiators open a session, log in with a target IQN and then issue SCSI commands over TCP, treating a remote LUN as a local disk. Every common target implementation defaults here — Linux LIO, tgt, NetApp, Synology and QNAP appliances, and cloud block-storage gateways. On a scan it means someone's disks are on the network, and an unauthenticated target will hand its LUN list to anyone who asks.

Do not expose

iSCSI carries block data in cleartext and its CHAP authentication is optional and weak; put it on a dedicated storage VLAN, never on a routed or public interface.

$ iscsiadm -m discovery -t sendtargets -p TARGET:3260
