How to find ports opened by process ID in Linux?

Suppose the PID of the process is already known

Solution 1:

netstat --all --program | grep '3265'

• --all show listening and non-listening sockets.
  
• --program show the PID and name of the program to which socket belongs.

You could also use a port scanner such as Nmap.

Solution 2:

You can use the command below:

lsof -i -P |grep pid

Solution 3:

As a side note, netstat -ao will read the /proc/PID/tcp etc to see the ports opened by the process. This means that its reading information supplied by the system (the linux KERNEL), and is in no way directly looking on the network interface or other means. Same goes for lsof.

If you are doing this as a security measure, you failed. You should never (NEVER EVER) trust the output of netstat, even if you are 100% sure you are in fact running a real netstat program (as opposed to a trojaned version) or any other program that reads the /proc filesystem. Some people seem to think that netstat, ls, ps or any other of the standard unix tools do some sort of magic and poll information from the sources, the truth is all of them rely on the /proc filesystem to get all of their data, which can be easily subverted by a rootkit or hypervisor.

Solution 4:

You can use the netstat command line tool with the -p command line argument:

-p (Linux):

Process: Show which processes are using which sockets (similar to -b under Windows). You must be root to do this.

The example section gives this example:

To display all ports open by a process with id $PID:

netstat -ao | grep '\b'$PID'\b'

Solution 5:

In some embedded devices or with old version of Linux, the problem is netstat do not have --process or -p options available.

The following script shows process with its IP and port, you must be root.

#!/bin/bash

for protocol in tcp udp ; 
do 
    #echo "protocol $protocol" ; 
    for ipportinode in `cat /proc/net/${protocol} | awk '/.*:.*:.*/{print $2"|"$3"|"$10 ;}'` ; 
    do 
        #echo "#ipportinode=$ipportinode"
        inode=`echo "$ipportinode" | cut -d"|" -f3` ;
        if [ "#$inode" = "#" ] ; then continue ; fi 
        lspid=`ls -l /proc/*/fd/* 2>/dev/null | grep "socket:\[$inode\]" 2>/dev/null` ; 
        pid=`echo "lspid=$lspid" | awk 'BEGIN{FS="/"} /socket/{print $3}'` ;
        if [ "#$pid" = "#" ] ; then continue ; fi
        exefile=`ls -l /proc/$pid/exe | awk 'BEGIN{FS=" -> "}/->/{print $2;}'`
        #echo "$protocol|$pid|$ipportinode" 
        echo "$protocol|$pid|$ipportinode|$exefile" | awk '
            BEGIN{FS="|"}
            function iphex2dec(ipport){ 
                ret=sprintf("%d.%d.%d.%d:    %d","0x"substr(ipport,1,2),"0x"substr(ipport,3,2),
                "0x"substr(ipport,5,2),"0x"substr(ipport,7,2),"0x"substr(ipport,10,4)) ;
                if( ret == "0.0.0.0:0" ) #compatibility others awk versions 
                {
                    ret=        strtonum("0x"substr(ipport,1,2)) ;
                    ret=ret "." strtonum("0x"substr(ipport,3,2)) ;
                    ret=ret "." strtonum("0x"substr(ipport,5,2)) ;
                    ret=ret "." strtonum("0x"substr(ipport,7,2)) ;
                    ret=ret ":" strtonum("0x"substr(ipport,10)) ;
                }
                return ret ;
            }
            { 
            print $1" pid:"$2" local="iphex2dec($3)" remote="iphex2dec($4)" inode:"$5" exe=" $6 ;  
            }
            ' ; 
        #ls -l /proc/$pid/exe ; 
    done ; 
done

The output is like:
