# WHATPORT(7070)

## NAME

port 7070 — ARCP / RealServer RTSP / Openfire HTTP-bind — Historically RealServer's alternate RTSP port; today most often Openfire's unencrypted BOSH and WebSocket endpoint.

Protocol: TCP  
IANA registry

## DESCRIPTION

IANA registers 7070 as arcp, a name with no public specification behind it; Nmap labels the port realserver because RealNetworks' RealServer used it as an alternate RTSP listener, and it is one of the more frequently open ports in that range. The current common occupant is Openfire, the XMPP server, whose install guide names 7070 as the unencrypted HTTP-bind (BOSH) and WebSocket port and 7443 as its TLS equivalent, with the explicit recommendation to use only 7443. So a live 7070 is usually a chat server offering a plaintext web-client transport.

## EXPOSURE

**Do not expose.** Openfire's own documentation recommends encrypted connections on 7443 only — 7070 carries XMPP authentication and messages in cleartext HTTP.

## CHECK

```sh
curl -sI http://TARGET:7070/http-bind/
```
