According to this SO Q&A (3rd party app breaks our WCF application), it is possible to write a rogue service that listens to global WCF pipes using as base address net.pipe://localhost.
This has the side efect of preventing any local net.pipe://localhost/ endpoints to be reached by clients.
Is there any way to programmatically tell if a machine has a service running acting as an effective "catch all" for all WCF net pipes communications (global and local)?
