because the only thing that identifies a file is a number. every file
has a number. guess the number, and now you can open the file.
assuming the entirety of any exported filesystem gets exported is
basic nfs best practice.
try searching for words like "nfs filehandle spoofing guessing".
Ah, thank you. I forget "NFS was not designed with security in mind,
