Why is wininit.exe opening listen ports?
Yes, I know it's usually an ephemeral port (though the ephemeral port range is pretty predictable under Windows, and it's sometimes a core port).
Yes, I understand that the firewall is (or at least, should be) blocking that port, and most of the time, the boxes are behind multiple firewalls and routing rules, so it theoretically doesn't matter. However, there are a fair number of default All/Allow/Any/Any in the Windows firewall lists that make it a bit less deterministic.
However, every good practice guideline I know of is just as focused on disabling unnecessary services and not listening when not needed, as it is on blocking.
Why is it opening a listen port in the first place?
What might ever talk to it?
What Windows feature/service/capability can be disabled so it doesn't open it in the first place?

This question appears to be off-topic. The users who voted to close gave this specific reason:
- "Questions seeking installation, configuration or diagnostic help must include the desired end state, the specific problem or error, sufficient information about the configuration and environment to reproduce it, and attempted solutions. Questions without a clear problem statement are not useful to other readers and are unlikely to get good answers." – womble
