How to find a port numbers opened for a remote server

Hi rtd73,
Finding out what Ports are open

TO find out what ports are open/exposed do the following

Start >Run >type "cmd" {enter}
At the command line type "netstat -a" {enter}

The list displayed shows "Listening ports" and established "Who is on the other end" connections to yout computer.

WARNING
This is a list of common Trojan/Backdoor Port numbers

Who is listening? Use this syntax: netstat -an |find /i "listening"
Save who is listening to a text file: netstat -an |find /i "listening" > c:\openports.txt
Who is established? Use this syntax: netstat -an |find /i "established"


Note: In Windows XP, you can type NETSTAT -O to get a list of all the owning process ID associated with each connection: netstat -ao |find /i "listening"


*****Pulist*****

You can use PULIST from the W2K Resource Kit to find the PID and see what process uses it and who started it. For example, you found out that your computer had an open connection to a remote IP address on TCP port 80, and you don't have any Internet Explorer or other browser windows open. You want to find out what process is using that session.

Cheers!

if you have local access to the server you can install Active Ports (free) and it will tell you what application is running on what port - http://download.com.com/3000-2085-10062969.html?part=65960%20&subj=dlpage&tag=button

so basically, find the exe file for the remote management program you're using and then open active ports and find it in the list and it will tell you what port it is running on.

if you don't have local access, then you can do a scan on the system using nmap - http://www.insecure.org/nmap/nmap_download.html

just type in "nmap -sT -vv 192.168.0.1" or for udp ports "nmap -sU -vv 192.168.0.1"
and change the ip to the ip you want to scan. but if there is a firewall, this will most likely sound the alarm that a port scan is in affect on the remote system so don't be alarmed when or if it happens
