Command line for looking at specific port

Question

Is there a way to examine the status of a specific port from the Windows command line? I know I can use netstat to examine all ports but netstat is slow and looking at a spe

Answer 1

Here is the easy solution of port finding...

In cmd:

netstat -na | find "8080"

In bash:

netstat -na | grep "8080"

In PowerShell:

netstat -na | Select-String "8080"

To improve upon @EndUzr's response:

To find a foreign port (IPv4 or IPv6) you can use:

netstat -an | findstr /r /c:":N [^:]*$"

To find a local port (IPv4 or IPv6) you can use:

netstat -an | findstr /r /c:":N *[^ ]*:[^ ]* "

Where N is the port number you are interested in. The "/r" switch tells it to process it as regexp. The "/c" switch allows findstr to include spaces within search strings instead of treating a space as a search string delimiter. This added space prevents longer ports being mistreated - for example, ":80" vs ":8080" and other port munging issues.

To list remote connections to the local RDP server, for example:

netstat -an | findstr /r /c:":3389 *[^ ]*:[^ ]*"

Or to see who is touching your DNS:

netstat -an | findstr /r /c:":53 *[^ ]*:[^ ]*"

If you want to exclude local-only ports you can use a series of exceptions with "/v" and escape characters with a backslash:

netstat -an | findstr /v "0.0.0.0 127.0.0.1 \[::\] \[::1\] \*\:\*" | findstr /r /c:":80 *[^ ]*:[^ ]*"

This will help you

netstat -atn | grep <port no>          # For tcp
netstat -aun | grep <port no>           # For udp
netstat -atun | grep <port no>          # For both

In RHEL 7, I use this command to filter several ports in LISTEN State:

sudo netstat -tulpn | grep LISTEN | egrep '(8080 |8082 |8083 | etc )'

Answer 5

I use:

netstat –aon | find "<port number>"

here o represents process ID. now you can do whatever with the process ID. To terminate the process, for e.g., use:

taskkill /F /pid <process ID>

Answer 6

This command will show all the ports and their destination address:

netstat -f
