sudo ss -ltnup 'sport = :1482'      # process listening on 1482
sudo lsof -nP -i :1482

macOS

sudo lsof -nP -i :1482

Windows (PowerShell)

Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 1482 -State Listen | Select LocalAddress, OwningProcess
Get-NetUDPEndpoint -LocalPort 1482
netstat -ano | findstr :1482

From another machine
