Windows netstat кто слушает порт

При запуске новых сервисов в Windows, вы можете обнаружить что нужный порт уже занят (слушается) другой программой (процессом). Разберемся, как определить какая программ прослушивает определенный TCP или UDP порт в Windows.

Например, вы не можете запустить сайт IIS на стандартном 80 порту в Windows, т.к. этот порт сейчас занят (при запуске нескольких сайтов в IIS вы можете запускать их на одном или на разных портах). Как найти службу или процесс, который занял этот порт и завершить его?

Чтобы вывести полный список TCP и UDP портов, которые прослушиваются вашим компьютером, выполните команду:

netstat -aon| find "LIST"

Или вы можете сразу указать искомый номер порта:

netstat -aon | findstr ":80" | findstr "LISTENING"

Используемые параметры команды netstat:

  • a – показывать сетевые подключения и открытые порты
  • o – выводить идентфикатор професса (PID) для каждого подключения
  • n – показывать адреса и номера портов в числовом форматер

По выводу данной команды вы можете определить, что 80 порт TCP прослушивается (статус
LISTENING
) процессом с PID 16124.

netstat найти программу, которая заняла порт

Вы можете определить исполняемый exe файл процесса с этим PID с помощью Task Manager или с помощью команды:

tasklist /FI "PID eq 16124"

tasklist - найти процесс, который слушает порт в windows

Можно заменить все указанные выше команды одной:

for /f "tokens=5" %a in ('netstat -aon ^| findstr :80') do tasklist /FI "PID eq %a"

С помощью однострочной PowerShell команды можно сразу получить имя процесса, который прослушивает:

  • TCP порт:
    Get-Process -Id (Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 80).OwningProcess
  • UDP порт:
    Get-Process -Id (Get-NetUDPEndpoint -LocalPort 53).OwningProcess

powershell найти процесс, который слушает TCP порт

Можно сразу завершить этот процесс, отправив результаты через pipe в командлет Stop-Process:

Get-Process -Id (Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 80).OwningProcess| Stop-Process

Проверьте, что порт 80 теперь свободен:

Test-NetConnection localhost -port 80

проверить что порт свободен

Чтобы быстрой найти путь к исполняемому файлу процесса в Windows, используйте команды:

cd /

dir tiny.exe /s /p

Или можно для поиска файла использовать встроенную команду where :

where /R C:\ tiny

В нашем случае мы нашли, что исполняемый файл
tiny.exe
(легкий HTTP сервер), который слушает 80 порт, находится в каталоге c:\Temp\tinyweb\tinyweb-1-94

команда позволяет найти путь к exe файу в windows

How do I find out which process is listening on a TCP or UDP port on Windows?

PowerShell

TCP

Get-Process -Id (Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort YourPortNumberHere).OwningProcess

UDP

Get-Process -Id (Get-NetUDPEndpoint -LocalPort YourPortNumberHere).OwningProcess

cmd

 netstat -a -b

(Add -n to stop it trying to resolve hostnames, which will make it a lot faster.)

Note Dane’s recommendation for TCPView. It looks very useful!

-a Displays all connections and listening ports.

-b Displays the executable involved in creating each connection or listening port. In some cases well-known executables host multiple independent components, and in these cases the sequence of components involved in creating the connection or listening port is displayed. In this case the executable name is in [] at the bottom, on top is the component it called, and so forth until TCP/IP was reached. Note that this option can be time-consuming and will fail unless you have sufficient permissions.

-n Displays addresses and port numbers in numerical form.

-o Displays the owning process ID associated with each connection.

The -b switch mentioned in most answers requires you to have administrative privileges on the machine. You don’t really need elevated rights to get the process name!

Find the pid of the process running in the port number (e.g., 8080)

netstat -ano | findStr "8080"

Find the process name by pid

tasklist /fi "pid eq 2216"

find process by TCP/IP port

You can get more information if you run the following command:

netstat -aon | find /i "listening" |find "port"

using the ‘Find’ command allows you to filter the results. find /i "listening" will display only ports that are ‘Listening’. Note, you need the /i to ignore case, otherwise you would type find «LISTENING». | find "port" will limit the results to only those containing the specific port number. Note, on this it will also filter in results that have the port number anywhere in the response string.

  1. Open a command prompt window (as Administrator) From «Start\Search box» Enter «cmd» then right-click on «cmd.exe» and select «Run as Administrator»

  2. Enter the following text then hit Enter.

    netstat -abno

    -a Displays all connections and listening ports.

    -b Displays the executable involved in creating each connection or
    listening port. In some cases well-known executables host

  3. Find the Port that you are listening on under «Local Address»

  4. Look at the process name directly under that.

NOTE: To find the process under Task Manager

  1. Note the PID (process identifier) next to the port you are looking at.

  2. Open Windows Task Manager.

  3. Select the Processes tab.

  4. Look for the PID you noted when you did the netstat in step 1.

Get PID and Image Name

Use only one command:

for /f "tokens=5" %a in ('netstat -aon ^| findstr 9000') do tasklist /FI "PID eq %a"

where 9000 should be replaced by your port number.

The output will contain something like this:

Image Name                     PID Session Name        Session#    Mem Usage
========================= ======== ================ =========== ============
java.exe                      5312 Services                   0    130,768 K

Explanation:

  • it iterates through every line from the output of the following command:

    netstat -aon | findstr 9000
    
  • from every line, the PID (%a — the name is not important here) is extracted (PID is the 5th element in that line) and passed to the following command

    tasklist /FI "PID eq 5312"
    

If you want to skip the header and the return of the command prompt, you can use:

echo off & (for /f "tokens=5" %a in ('netstat -aon ^| findstr 9000') do tasklist /NH /FI "PID eq %a") & echo on

Output:

java.exe                      5312 Services                   0    130,768 K

First we find the process id of that particular task which we need to eliminate in order to get the port free:

Type

netstat -n -a -o

After executing this command in the Windows command line prompt (cmd), select the pid which I think the last column. Suppose this is 3312.

Now type

taskkill /F /PID 3312

You can now cross check by typing the netstat command.

NOTE: sometimes Windows doesn’t allow you to run this command directly on CMD, so first you need to go with these steps:

From the start menu -> command prompt (right click on command prompt, and run as administrator)

With PowerShell 5 on Windows 10 or Windows Server 2016, run the Get-NetTCPConnection cmdlet. I guess that it should also work on older Windows versions.

The default output of Get-NetTCPConnection does not include Process ID for some reason and it is a bit confusing. However, you could always get it by formatting the output. The property you are looking for is OwningProcess.

  • If you want to find out the ID of the process that is listening on port 443, run this command:

      PS C:\> Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 443 | Format-List
    
      LocalAddress   : ::
      LocalPort      : 443
      RemoteAddress  : ::
      RemotePort     : 0
      State          : Listen

      CreationTime   : 02.11.2016 21:55:43
      OffloadState   : InHost
    
  • Format the output to a table with the properties you look for:

      PS C:\> Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 443 | Format-Table -Property LocalAddress, LocalPort, State, OwningProcess
    
      LocalAddress LocalPort  State OwningProcess
      ------------ ---------  ----- -------------

      0.0.0.0            443 Listen          4572
    
  • If you want to find out a name of the process, run this command:

      PS C:\> Get-Process -Id (Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 443).OwningProcess
    
      Handles  NPM(K)    PM(K)      WS(K)     CPU(s)     Id  SI ProcessName

It is very simple to get the port number from a PID in Windows.

The following are the steps:

  1. Go to run → type cmd → press Enter.

  2. Write the following command…

    netstat -aon | findstr [port number]
    

    (Note: Don’t include square brackets.)

  3. Press Enter

  4. Then cmd will give you the detail of the service running on that port along with the PID.

  5. Open Task Manager and hit the service tab and match the PID with that of the cmd, and that’s it.

If you want to have a good overview, you can use this:

Get-NetTCPConnection -State Listen | Select-Object -Property *, `
    @{'Name' = 'ProcessName';'Expression'={(Get-Process -Id $_.OwningProcess).Name}} `
    | select ProcessName,LocalAddress,LocalPort

Then you get a table like this:

ProcessName              LocalAddress  LocalPort
-----------              ------------  ---------
services                 ::                49755

spoolsv                  0.0.0.0           49672

For UDP, it is:

netstat -ao and netstat -ab tell you the application, but if you’re not a system administrator you’ll get «The requested operation requires elevation».

It’s not ideal, but if you use Sysinternals’ Process Explorer you can go to specific processes’ properties and look at the TCP tab to see if they’re using the port you’re interested in. It is a bit of a needle and haystack thing, but maybe it’ll help someone…

I recommend CurrPorts from NirSoft.

CurrPorts can filter the displayed results. TCPView doesn’t have this feature.

Note: You can right click a process’s socket connection and select «Close Selected TCP Connections» (You can also do this in TCPView). This often fixes connectivity issues I have with Outlook and Lync after I switch VPNs. With CurrPorts, you can also close connections from the command line with the «/close» parameter.

Use:

netstat -a -o

This shows the PID of the process running on a particular port.

Keep in mind the process ID and go to Task Manager and services or details tab and end the process which has the same PID.

Thus you can kill a process running on a particular port in Windows.

Follow these tools: From cmd: C:\> netstat -anob with Administrator privileges.

Process Explorer

Process Dump

Port Monitor

All from sysinternals.com.

If you just want to know process running and threads under each process, I recommend learning about wmic. It is a wonderful command-line tool, which gives you much more than you can know.

Example:

c:\> wmic process list brief /every:5

The above command will show an all process list in brief every 5 seconds. To know more, you can just go with /? command of windows , for example,

c:\> wmic /?
c:\> wmic process /?
c:\> wmic prcess list /?

And so on and so forth. :)

На днях снова поступил вопрос: Как узнать что слушает TCP/IP порт в Windows?

Я уже когда-то писал об этом, но видать пришло время сделать это еще раз…

Задача: узнать процесс, который занял конкретный порт.

Решение: воспользуемся командной строкой, чтобы увидеть, какие порты используются в данный момент и имеют специальный флаг, который говорит нам, какой порт назначен на каждый номер идентификатора процесса Windows. Тогда мы можем использовать этот номер, чтобы найти, какой именно это процесс.

Откройте командную строку и введите следующее, возможно, придется запустить ее в режиме администратора, чтобы увидеть все процессы:

NETSTAT -AON | MORE

Если вы посмотрите на правую часть, то вы увидите список PID-ов или идентификаторов процессов. Найдите тот, который привязан к порту, с которым вы работаете, вы увидите 0.0.0.0:80 или порт 80, его PID — 4708.

Теперь вы можете просто открыть диспетчер задач, возможно, придется использовать опцию Показать процессы для всех пользователей, и тогда вы сможете найти PID в списке.

Есть еще один вариант:

Например C:\>netstat -an|findstr /i listen

Подробней читаем здесь: http://dosprompt.info/network/netstat.example.asp

Всем хорошей работы !!!

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.

Whenever an application wants to make itself accessible over the network, it claims a TCP/IP port, which means that port can’t be used by anything else. So if you need to use an in-use port, how do you tell what application is holding it?

There’s a number of ways to tell which application has the port locked, here we will use a windows built-in way using the command line and Task Manager.

Using Built-In Tools to See What is Listening on a Port

The first step is to use a command-line tool to see what ports are in use, and use a special flag that tells us which port is assigned to each Windows process identifier number. Then we can use that number to look up exactly which process it is.

Open up a command prompt and type in the following—you may have to open in Administrator mode to see all processes:

p1

netstat -ab | more

This will immediately show you a list, although it’s maybe a little complicated. You’ll see the process name in the list, and you can search for it.

p4

You can also use this other method, which takes an extra step, but makes it easier to locate the actual process:


netstat -aon | more

If you look on the right-hand side, you’ll see where I’ve highlighted the list of PIDs, or Process Identifiers. Find the one that’s bound to the port that you’re trying to troubleshoot—for this example, you’ll see that 0.0.0.0:80, or port 80, is in use by PID 1184.

p2

Now you can simply open up Task Manager—you might have to use the option to Show Processes for All Users, and then you’ll be able to find the PID in the list. Once you’re there, you can use the End Process, Open File Location, or Go to Service(s) options to control the process or stop it.

p5

Alternatively you can even use resource monitor to stop any process that is running. To open resource monitor type resmon.exe in run. This will bring up the resource monitor window.

p6

p3

There would be situations were some other process is running at port 80. To stop anything running in port 80 the following command can be used from command prompt.

net stop http /y

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What application is listening on a TCP IP port in Windows?
Netstat is a diagnostic tool that creates a list of open ports that the machine is listening to, as well as the ports it is currently connected to on other machines.  In Netstat, stat stands for state or statistics, which tells you the current network status of every TCP connection.

How do I find out what application is using a TCP port?
You can use Netstat -b -a -o.

This tool provides a list of all open ports and their associated processes. The -o shows the process id, which you can look up in your task manager or processes tab. To end that process, simply enter taskkill /PID xxxx.

How can I tell if a server is listening on a port?
On the server itself, use Netstat -an to check to see which ports are listening. From outside the server, telnet host port can be used to check connections. A refused connection means nothing is running, whereas an accepted connection means something is running. Timeout implies a firewall is blocking access.

How do I find out what application is using port 8080?
Open the diagnostic tool, netstat -ano. This tool will list the PID (Process Identifier) that is listening to port 80. Open the Task Manager’s Processes tab. Select “View” and “Select Columns” menu. Activate the PID column to see the name of the process listening on port 80.

Is Port 8080 http or https?
Port 8080 is a non-standard, high number port that is popular as an alternative port for HTTP servers, most often application servers. Port 8443 is a default alternative port for HTTPS servers. It can also be used as an alternative port for any protocol like ssh, FTP, NTP, BOOTP, etc.

Why is port 8080 default?
Historically, only authorized system administrators were able to establish and operate a web server on port 80, since this was within the first 1023-port privileged region. When non-administrators wished to run their own web servers, they often chose port 8080 to host a secondary or alternate web server.


Introduction

Like Linux, Windows does have a netstat command and it can come handy when you are in need of network-related monitoring and troubleshooting.

Consider you have any of the following requirement

  • How to find who or which process owns the port in Windows Server
  • To see how many  HTTP/DB connections opened by IIS/Any other App server runs on windows.
  • To make sure the port is open and listening for incoming calls in Windows Server
  • How many connections are open from IIS to Database in WIndows server
  • How many Connections are open from Application Server like Tomcat running on Windows Server
  • Connection leaks to the database from windows server etc

Netstat command windows have the following syntax and options support.

Windows Netstat command

using this various options given in the preceding picture you can derive many useful commands to help you in your endeavour

  1. Find all the ESTABLISHED and WAITING TCP connections
  2. Get Detailed info of TCP and UDP connections
  3. List of Connections and Ports open with Process information – Find Who Owns the port
  4. Find Who owns the port with Process ID and Process Name
  5. Get Fully Qualified remote address on the open connections
  6. How to Grep for a Specific port with windows netstat command
  7. Execute Windows Netstat commands in interval

Here we have given some of the most used and quick netstat command snippets. You can choose one or you can frame one using the options shown in the preceding picture

To find all the Established and Waiting for TCP connections.

This is a Simple Netstat command it would result the simple list of TCP connections Established on the server

netstat

To get Detailed info on Ports Open, Ports Listening, Connections Established for TCP/UDP connections

netstat -a command would give the extended result of ports opened on the server and established connections and their current state for both TCP and UDP connections.

this command can be used to check if your application server (Tomcat,Weblogic,IIS) or any process running on the windows server has opened and listening on a certain port.

netstat -a

You can also use the netstat -an command to get faster results as netstat -a would take longer time in the name resolution of the remote foreign address

netstat -an

So, What is the Difference between netstat -a and netstat -an why the latter one is faster

Simply put, netstat -an command would only show the remote server IP addresses where netstat -a would try to resolve the name for that IP address. Thus netstat -an would be faster than the netstat -a

How to get the Process name [service name] along with connections – Who owns the port

Consider that you have any of the tomcat ,weblogic, websphere, Apache HTTPD, IIS, MSSQL server, Oracle DB  product running on the windows server

During issues, It might be necessary for you to validate which process owns which port. or would have wanted to know how many connections are currently open or established.

In Such cases, you can use the following command which would result in the great detailed info along with the process name (or) the binary name which opened the port or the connection.

You have to run the command prompt as Administrator [ Run as Administrator ] before running this command

netstat -ab

If you do not want the the Domain Name be displayed in the Foreign Address and OK with the numeric IP information. You can use netstat -anb as said earlier, adding an -n option makes the command faster

windows netstat command

Get the Process ID and Process Name of the Ports and Connections Open

In the previous example, with netstat -ab we were only getting the Process name who owns the port. not the Process ID.

Getting a Process ID of the process who owns the port would also be helpful in most of the cases.

To get the PID information you need to use -o option along with -ab

netstat -abo

Netstat windows command

Using -f option to get Fully Qualified Domain Names (FQDN) or Remote Address

With any preceding command, you can use the  -f option  to get the Fully Qualified Domain Names (FQDN)  of the remote address

netstat -afb

You cannot use -n with -f as one will compromise the other. The option-f is for FQDN where -n is for only numeric.

Look for a Specific Port or Process ID using FINDSTR [ equivalent to grep ]

How to make sure a Specific port is listening in windows

The windows netstat command output is so large and if you are looking for a precise port  or process or PID. you can use findstr , a windows equivalent for Linux  grep command

netstat -afb |findstr 8080

in the preceding snapshot you can see that findstr was used to check if port 8080 is open and tomcat is listening

Using Netstat in Script with Sleep interval. Monitor a Port status with Netstat

Let’s suppose you want to monitor if a port is listening at a constant interval. Windows netstat command can accept sleep interval.

You can use any netstat command with a specific interval. The command will run in a loop with a Specified interval and it can be stopped with CTRL+C

netstat -abo 5|findstr  8080

here the interval is 5 seconds,

The netstat -abo command would run every 5 seconds until interrupted or stopped with CTRL+C

windows netstat command

Various other Windows Netstat commands and their usage

netstat has more to offer and here I have listed some of the command snippets and their usage as quick gist.

Display Routing table

netstat -r

Display only UDP connections

netstat -abp udp  -ab

Display only TCP connections

netstat -abp tcp  -ab

Display Detailed Ethernet and Connection Usage Statistics

netstat -es

Hope it helps
