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]

[@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!

[@mad-s7203]

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

[@-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

[@NathanLewis100]

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

[@atadjs]

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

[@deliverator54]

[@hershiebee]

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

[@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...

[@whawaii]

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

[@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! 😊

[@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

[@boltez6507]

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

[@superbri007]

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]

[@kristoffseisler2163]

Next topic of video ideas:
VPN: a follow up to your proxy video and more focused on how people use it for it's original purpose to connect to local lan resources on a remote network at their work for example)
iptables: as an advanced follow up to your port forward or firewall video
Chat apps: for example facebook messenger and how it's push notifications work
Anyways love your animations man these videos are good stuff

[@dharmikdonda8049]

Was waiting for a long time for this type of videos.. also make wireshark videos.

[@weekendvivasayi4308]

Thanks. That was great.

[@avenuex3731]

Nice and clean.

[@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.

[@tarekas522]

thanks We really appreciate
