OS: Windows server/ Windows XP

Is there any port scan tool that can do what netstat does and also has a filter feature, so that unnecessary connections can be hidden?

Very nice! And better than the one of sysinternal – Revious – 2020-01-13T16:53:18.080

You could also just pipe the output of netstat into find e.g.

netstat -n | find "10.0."
netstat | find /I "pcname"
netstat | find "ESTABLSIHED"

1I do this a lot, people always turn their head sideways when I do it but once they see the result their good! – user33788 – 2010-05-21T02:18:44.057

1I normally go one step further and install a grep for windows but find works well enough for this. – Sim – 2010-05-22T03:47:03.497

1Yep, +1. Piping into find and not having to install 3rd party tools works just fine for me. – MDMarra – 2011-01-31T16:05:52.090

Sysinternal's TCPView may do what you are looking for, if a GUI tool is fine for what you are trying to do.

How do you filter out connections in TCPView? – MDMarra – 2010-05-20T23:40:28.490

I've just fired up my old copy and it seems that you can't. I must be thinking of some other tool - I'll try remember what that is... – David Spillett – 2010-05-21T08:17:05.623
