Mizpah, the local port detective
A Windows and Linux audit console that maps listening ports to their owning processes and highlights changes from a known-good baseline.
Field notes
The tool reads operating-system socket tables and associates listeners with PIDs, executable paths, interface bindings, and reachability rather than scanning ports externally. Its comparison workflow separates current state from a saved baseline, with the example showing four findings, including SSH on port 22 and development services on ports 3000 and 11434. The page presents a loopback-bound local API, Windows and Linux packages, a dependency-free Go collector, and an MIT license.
