Windows 11 Open Ports [extra Quality]
This paper provides a technical analysis of the default network port configuration in Microsoft Windows 11. It examines the specific services that open network ports, the rationale behind their inclusion, and the potential security risks associated with a default installation. By analyzing the Windows Firewall architecture, service dependencies (specifically regarding SMB and RPC), and the evolution of the OS from legacy architectures, this paper aims to define a baseline for securing the Windows 11 endpoint.
