Test what TCP and UDP ports are open on your computer.
Nearly everyone knows the
TCP and UPD ports, because they are the ones that are used by
P2P clients, and for them to work it is necessary to open them. But they don't only serve to
download things, any application that connects to Internet uses a TCP or UDP port, or both of them. To know what ports are being used you can resort to
CurrPorts.
By only launching
CurrPorts, we will be able to know the
specific name of a process, the processes number, protocol, port number, name of the local port, state.... a lot more data. What's more,
CurrPorts allows to configure the filtering of specific ports, view the ones that are listening, established, closed,... it is possible to obtain the data of nearly anything and
export them to different formats, including
TXT, HTML and XML.
Thanks to
CurrPorts it will be possible to
monitor any of our computers ports to know what or who is using it, something very interesting for net administrators or for any user that wants to be sure and informed of everything that connects to the net from your PC.
