Here there is an opensource tool that is called CloseTheDoor that can help you to discover and prevent these three categories of backdoor. it is an easy-to-use application that identifies all the listening ports, TCP / UDP over IPv4 / v6 and all the associated program files. This software will help you detect security holes and close backdoors when you want to prevent remote attacks.
If you run the tool you will have the following information:
- Interface that are active on the network
- The opened port on the operating system
