NETSTAT Command Explained

What is netstat? Netstat is a command line tool that is used to display the current network connections and port activity on your computer. It’s a useful tool that you can use to see what service may be running on your computer or server and what ports are open.
Netstat -b requires elevation and has to be run as an administrator. You can open cmd as an administrator by searching for it in the Windows search bar located in the bottom left corner of the desktop screen. Type cmd in the search bar, then, right-click on Command Prompt and select Run as administrator.

How to display only Foreign Address on Netstat? only the addresses I want to see. NOT Proto, NOT Local Address and NOT State..

[@jimvalim1567]

I'm surprised you didn't talk about the -o switch, witch shows the (PID) process ID. This is very useful for identifying applications that are connecting to the internet. If you find that there is an application that is misbehaving or shouldn't be connected to the internet, than you can find it in the task manager using the process ID and kill the program or application! Very useful tool!

[@westdu5961]

simple, easy to understand, concise, and yet packs heaps of knowledge. your video is without doubt best i ve ever seen, no kidding.

[@zyzzuschrist3410]

Keep pumpin out these videos. We really appreciate them! This is awesome! 👏

[@stdkv]

These videos have truly inspired me to further develop in the IT field! Huge Thank You, Scott, for your motivation and amazing explanations.

[@vladislavkaras491]

It was really a great explanation of how netstat works! Especially, I liked the part, when you demonstrated what the difference between usual "netstat" and with "-a" switch. Thank you!

[@deliverator54]

Another educational video gem, this is what I call professional work, 👏

[@-bubby9633]

Absolute hero! Recently had an expansion of scope of the work I do meaning networking knowledge is much more required. These videos have helped immensely in reinforcing/expanding things I know and explaining things I'm not well versed on. Amazing

[@mad-s7203]

I don't skip the ads, to support these bro. You're great in teaching

[@arisweedler4703]

So much love in this channel’s comments. Lemme add one more! Love this content :’)

[@itnafal7184]

One of the best teacher .. god bless you dear

[@NathanLewis100]

I'm starting a career in IT and watching all of your videos one by one. Great Content

[@ahmad-murery]

I use netstat occasionally but after watching this video this tool looks more powerful than I thought, I really know how hard it is to make such videos, so Thank you very much sharing them with us. Regards

[@swapnilshingote8773]

How can you keep anything so simple and so informative same time...big fan of yours...

[@crypto9459]

Your videos are excellent. Very well done edits and examples.

[@user-ol9ul9py1k]

Keep uploading videos like these, professor! Your well-explained concepts, always enlighten me, I thank you for pointing out each netstat commands and its functions. I hope you have a nice, productive day! 😊

[@hershiebee]

I struggle to understand IT, but you made it so easy to understand!!! Thank you!

[@superbri007]

Changed notifications to ALL because your videos are 👌 Thank you for what you do.

[@atadjs]

My final Network Exams start on Monday...so obviously I am re watching every video you made.

[@whawaii]

Thank you for showing & explaining NETSTAT. Wish I'd known about it back in my IT troubleshooting days, when I was taught IPCONFIG.

[@iiN1GH7M4R3ii]

youve made a mundane system interesting! BTW netstat -b will require use of Admin CMD Prompt. Instead of normal cmd, just right click it and press Run as Admin for anyone wondering

[@RFVisionary]

👍🏻 As always: informative, short, competently explained.

[@boltez6507]

Wow i just discovered the command yesterday and now my favourite channel has made a video on it...im feeling lucky😁

[@johna1857]

These videos are so powerful in the line of work and belive me when I tell you, not many know of this. Keeping in mind that running a business requires explanations to customers and they appreciate when they see their own technicians are prepared.

[@NETmrLEE]

I spent the last three days and watched every single video to refresh for my ojt. Amazing videos and work well even at intermediate levels trying jump back the basics or used as a training tool for other techs. 🥺 now I'm going to have to wait another month for another video. I know they take long to make, especially for the quality, but I'm addicted

[@PowerCertAnimatedVideos]

Glad you like them!

[@anandhindu2804]

[@carloscoliver9427]

I almost always use netstat -tuna, very useful those options combined and easy to remember, hahaha

[@BijouBakson]

Thank you so much. I wanted to subscribe, and then I realised I already subscribed. I guess I was right the first 🙂

[@imedabdelkader6257]

Thank you. For real.

[@lawrencedoliveiro9104]

Just a note that, on Linux, netstat has been obsoleted by the ss command in the iproute2 suite of tools. Just to add to the fun, on FreeBSD, the route command cannot list existing routes: you have to use netstat for that.

[@maiamaya6083]

great info. thanks, I'm going to sub to this channel

[@neverhomepnw]

You need to make a CCNA course. Id be the first one in line.

[@arjumandvillagecooking]

[@FitraRahim]

Hey PowerCert, could you make video about subnetwork & subnetmask?

[@fernandojackson7207]

Excellent Video. Why doesn't output show UDP, or TCP, etc?
