Command to show open TCP ports on Windows

Published on September 07, 2007

Here's a handy command you can use on windows to list all of the open TCP/IP ports:

netstat -anop TCP

Need to list open UDP ports? You guessed it, try this:

netstat -anop UDP

Quite handy when you want to see if a program did indeed bind to a port. It is essentially an easy way to port scan yourself on windows.

This command is built in to windows, but there are some third party tools such as Foundstone's fport.exe which also shows which program binds to the port.
