FPort (made by McAffe) is another CLT that can display open ports with executables linked to them. It can easily display programs that opened ports and the protocol that it is using. The lastest version is v2.0 and can be downloaded here: http://www.mcafee.com/us/downloads/free-tools/fport.aspx.
How it works: using the command line, just typing "FPort" will run the program to display all the ports with excutables linked to them.
Personal remarks: This tool can be difficult to find, but easy to use. The link above is the correct link to use. I made the mistake of downloading from some where third party site. Pretty sure it was virus infected. Oh well, everyone can use a bit more spyware.
The output of FPort displays all the open ports and what applications are linked to them. This is handy to see if there is a certain program that is leaking data. Using this tool with wireshark is helpful if there is a open port found with an application linked to it.
