How else can I disable telnet to comply with a security audit? The Telnet services roles are not enabled on this server. But it is LISTENING at 0.0.0.0:23. Also there is no local windows firewall to utilize.

  • this is an enterprise org. the windows firewall is disabled on all servers in favor of a variety of other solutions like layer 2/3 firewalls, file execution inspection, AV, agent-based security, etc. is that strange or something? – Benjy Aug 04 '20 at 18:18

netstat -a -b -n -o

Find the process listening on port 23. From there, find the service or application that launches that process and stop it.
