March 16, 2004Microsoft releases new tool to monitor network portsMicrosoft has released a new tool today called Port Reporter (PortRptr.exe) that will log TCP and UDP port activity on a local Windows system. On Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 this service is able to log which ports are used, which process is using the port, if the process is a service, which modules the process has loaded and which user account is running the process. On Windows 2000 systems, this service is limited to logging which ports are used and when. In both cases the information that the service provides can be helpful for security purposes, troubleshooting scenarios, and profiling systems’ port usage. This is a small, but really useful tool that runs as a service. I suggest you download it and give it a try if you are curious about the ports open on your machine(s).

Netstat works fairly well and comes with Windows 2003.

Posted by: Jai at March 17, 2004 02:43 PMI was going to recommend the same tool, from sysinternals.... I've also found their FileMon utility to be extremely useful as well.

Its great for security audits. http://download.microsoft.com/download/2/8/8/28810043-0e21-4004-89a3-2f477a74186f/PRParser.exe |
