Leave a comment
One of the very first step that most viruses/malwares take to infect a PC is surreptitiously open TCP/UDP ports to permit listening connections from harmful sources. Such malicious applications use ports to regulate their incoming and outgoing connections to download complementary scripts in order to exploit admin/root access, as well as steal confidential information from the system. If you’re a network administrator and looking for a tool that can remotely monitor TCP/UDP ports across the network, try out WhatsUP PortScanner. The application has been specifically designed for system administrators to scan all well known ports, all ports, or only specified ports of defined client PC in their network. Unlike previously covered CloseTheDoor, it provides additional tools to detect TCP and UDP ports, advance scanning parameters, and tab-based interface to monitor multiple clients’ IP addresses.

One of the major network security specific loophole is unauthorized opened port. As you may already know that applications and system & user initiated instances, which attempt to bypass Windows Firewall to open a TCP/UPD port for listening incoming connections from external sources, are highly prone to security attacks and vulnerabilities. Since Windows CLI netstat command doesn’t help you in finding details regarding the applications and instances which have already opened ports to listen incoming connections, you must try CloseTheDoor for this very purpose. The application has been created to list down all the active/passive listening TCP/UDP ports over IPv4/IPv6 along with the associated programs. According to developer, it was specifically built to close backdoors in order to prevent unauthenticated sources from stealing confidential information. Read More

By default, Remote Desktop listens on port 3389. If you want to change this port, there is no easy way to do it in Windows. You might have to tweak with the registry from “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\TerminalServer\WinStations\RDP-Tcp” (via regedit) in order to change your remote desktop port. Lets say you have different computers using the remote desktop connection but require them to be running on different ports. Or require configuring firewalls for which you will need to know the Remote Desktop port.
