TCP 8018
Synopsis
- SAP NetWeaver application servers use TCP 8018 for their HTTP listener when the instance number is 18 (HTTP ports follow the 80NN pattern in SAP).
- In real deployments, SAP ECC, S/4HANA, or BW systems with instance 18 expose web services and SICF endpoints (e.g., SAP Web GUI) on 8018.
- SAP Web Dispatcher may also forward traffic to backend app servers listening on 8018 in such landscapes.
- No widely documented hacking technique is uniquely tied to port 8018; risks mirror those of any exposed SAP HTTP endpoint.
