How rothaga works

File transfer & sharing
client:71171/32/33/3rothaga? client:71171/32/33/3rothaga?

Files are sent over port 7117 in pieces and reassembled on the other side. Everything is encrypted: someone on the path only sees unreadable bytes.

01 Security

Is port 7117 dangerous?

We have no specific security note for port 7117. Its risk depends on the program actually listening on it. General advice for file transfer & sharing services:

  • Prefer encrypted protocols (SFTP, FTPS, SMB 3 with encryption).
  • Disable anonymous access and restrict shares or exports to known hosts.
  • Never publish file sharing protocols to the Internet.

03 Check it

Which program uses port 7117, and is it reachable?

Linux

sudo ss -ltnup 'sport = :7117'      # process listening on 7117
sudo lsof -nP -i :7117

macOS

sudo lsof -nP -i :7117

Windows (PowerShell)

Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 7117 -State Listen | Select LocalAddress, OwningProcess
Get-NetUDPEndpoint -LocalPort 7117
netstat -ano | findstr :7117

From another machine

nmap -p 7117 -sV <host>
nc -zv <host> 7117

Block it in the firewall

sudo ufw deny 7117/tcp                                         # Linux (ufw)
New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "Block 7117" -Direction Inbound -LocalPort 7117 -Protocol TCP -Action Block  # Windows
04 FAQ
What is port 7117 used for?

Port 7117 is assigned by IANA to rothaga (Encrypted chat and file transfer service).

Is port 7117 TCP or UDP?

Port 7117 is registered for TCP.

Is it safe to open port 7117?

It depends on the program that listens on it. Open it only for a service you know and only to the networks that need it. Prefer encrypted protocols (SFTP, FTPS, SMB 3 with encryption).

How do I check if port 7117 is open?

On Linux run "ss -ltnup 'sport = :7117'", on macOS "lsof -nP -i :7117", and on Windows "netstat -ano | findstr :7117" to see the local process. From another machine, "nmap -p 7117 <host>" shows whether it is reachable.
