Where would I get help for TCP/IP Open Ports on Windows

Hello where would be the best place to get details on how and where Windows stores its Open PORTS details for all active processes ? I want to know how Windows does this ? Also in which library does Windows store the code to do the above ? Would Mark Russinovich or some one with that kind of internal be the place to go ? I need someone who knows this table via a debugger not Windows readily available API’s.

IMHO this is an implementation detail that you can only determine for yourself on a particular version of Windows via exploring with a debugger.

Also, clearly this is a networking related question, but I suspect that you are assuming IP. Windows support a variety of networking protocols including IPv4 & IPv6. Each one will have a different set of open sockets from UM and KM clients. Depending on the protocol the term port may or may not be applicable

Assuming that you can clarify your requirements and they do pertain to the open sockets for UM processing using IPv4 and TCP (the most common case), in modern versions of Windows I suggest you start your exploration by looking at tcpip.sys
