A TCP\/IP network connection may be either blocked, dropped, open, or filtered. These actions are generally controlled by the IPtables firewall the system uses and is independent of any process or program that may be listening on a network port. Beyond the firewall, a program or process (a server or daemon) may be listening on a port or not listening. This can be checked using the netstat programs. Checking to see if a port is open, blocked, dropped, or filtered at the firewall is not simple.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using lsof to find open ports<\/em><\/strong>:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

lsof -i:22 ## see a specific port such as 22 ##<\/p>\n\n\n\n

lsof -i -P -n | grep LISTEN<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can run any one of the above commands<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Run netstat command along with grep command<\/a> to filter out port in LISTEN state:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

netstat -tulpn | grep LISTEN<\/p>\n\n\n\n

t<\/strong> \u2013 Show TCP
u<\/strong> \u2013 Show UDP
l<\/strong> \u2013 Show only listening processes (netstat can show both listening and all established connections, i.e. as a client too)
