<summary>Disable Simple TCP/IP Services on Windows</summary>
<AppliesTo>

</AppliesTo>
<workaround>
<p>A common reason for this listener on Microsoft Windows is due to the Simple TCP/IP Services being enabled. Simple TCP/IP Services, supports the following services: Character Generator, Daytime, Discard, Echo, and Quote of the Day. Consider performing the following actions in order to mitigate abuse of this service:</p>
<p>To determine whether this service is running you will need to check the running features/services as follows:
<ol>
<li>Start>Control Panel>"Turn Windows features on or off" (on the left hand sidebar) This will open a small dialog box listing services.</li>
<li>You should see "Simple TCP/IP services (i.e. echo, daytime etc)" in the list. If the box beside it is checked, the services have been installed.</li>
<li>To uninstall them, click to remove the check from the box.</li>
<li>You may have to reboot the system in order for this to take effect.</li>
</ol></p>
</workaround>
<AdditionalInfo>
<p>If the service is required consider restricting access to the service to only source from trusted assets.</p>
