Use this tool to inspect your own computer's TCP/IP ports and see what open network ports hackers might discover on your machine. It is also a good troubleshooting tool for making sure desired network ports can be accessed externally.
To facilitate your inspection, use the 'netstat -a' command from a shell or a command (cmd) window on your computer, and make note of the ports that are in a LISTEN state. Check those ports first with this tool, as they are good candidates for a potential invader to gain access. You can also use the old reliable telnet program to check for open ports. For instance, to test port 80 (default HTTP port) on your server, issue the command telnet your-host 80 and see if it responds.
