List Running Services and Open Ports

Check for remotely accessible services the Windows way.

Unix makes it quick and easy to see which ports on a system are open, but how can you do that on Windows? Well, with FPort from Foundstone (http://www.foundstone.com/resources/index_resources.htm) it’s as quick and easy as running good old netstat.

FPort has very few command-line options, and those deal mostly with specifying how you’d like the output sorted. For instance, if you want the output sorted by application name, you can use /a; if you want it sorted by process ID, you can use /i. While it may not be as full of features as netstat, it definitely gets the job done.

To get a listing of all ports that are open on your system, simply type fport. If you want the list to be sorted by port number, use the /p switch:
