Netstat tool/Command
- The netstat command, meaning network statistics, is a Command Prompt command used to display very detailed information about how your computer is communicating with other computers or network devices.
- Often, one of the things that are required to be figured out is the current state of the active network connections on a host.
- This is very important information to find for a variety of reasons. For example, when verifying the status of a listening port on a host or to check and see what remote hosts are connected to a local host on a specific port.
- It is also possible to use the netstat utility to determine which services on a host that is associated with specific active ports.
