Network File System (NFS) is a network file system developed by Sun Microsystems and has the same purpose as SMB.
Its purpose is to access file systems over a network as if they were local. However, it uses an entirely different protocol.
NFS' default port is 2049 TCP
When footprinting NFS, the TCP ports 111 and 2049 are essential.
We can also get information about the NFS service and the host via RPC (2049)
