how do I tell which connection is mine when using netstat -b?
Q. i typed in netstat -b to my command prompt, and the list is really really long. does that mean none of them are mine or all of them are or how do i tell? also, how do i block the ones i don't want? also, i'm seeing three command prompts ah, sry, i should have been more specific. I'm trying to see if someone's hacking me, because my mouse keeps moving on it's own, and my scroll bar is also moving on it's own, with the mouse nowhere near it.

A. Your computer would the the "local host" listed on the left. You will only see it's name and not it's IP address, as this is netbios protocol information, not TCP/IP. The other addresses are public IP addresses of sites that have a connection to your computer via open ports. It's unclear what you're trying to do/determine.

A. You need to open the window manually first. Go to Start then Run, and type CMD (or COMMAND depending on your version of Windows) Then type your netstat line in the new window

A. First of all, you are typing 'NETSTAT' from a Windows console. DOS is completely obsolete and if you're still using it, there's no way anyone can help you. Probably the best solution is to grab Microsoft's TCPView program. It will provide a list of all connections on your system along with what process owns them, if any. You can right-click on any connection and close it.

How to use netstat to view who's on your network?
Q. Ok im not trying to be a hacker or anything but i stumbled across this video that didnt explain very clearly on how to see who is connected to your computer. I understand how to pull up netstat and use the [-a], [-n],[-o] but i dont understand what is: listening, established, close wait, ect also what is PID and how it relates to the windows task manager?
Asked by Michael - Sat May 12 13:38:10 2007 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Do you want to know who is on your network or who is connected to your computer. Netstat tells the latter but not who is on the entire network. Listening -- port is open an waiting for traffic established -- port is connected and in use waiting -- port is waiting for data or to close the connection PID is the process identification number of what process is being used for each item.

A. not sure exactly what your asking. Your ip address is in your pc. You can check it by either going to network places, network connections. Right click on your local connection, go to properties, and the scroll down the box the comes up and select tcp/ip and hit properties. If automatically obtain an ip address is selected, you can go to your start, select run, and type cmd in the run line. In the command box that pops up, type ipconfig /all command and this will give you your configuration.

Asked by *BK Don* - Sun Nov 30 18:38:44 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Netstat lists all your active connections. If your hacker is connected to your computer at that moment, it will show up there, and his ip address will show up in the foreign addresses column. A good way to tease out a suspicious one is to close all other internet programs, your browser, your im, and then write down the foreign addresses that remain. Try looking up ip's in here This does not establish intent, this only helps you determine who should not be connected to you. If you get a bogey, you can look up the port number of the connection and possibly determine what software he's exploiting to access your computer.

A. start > run > cmd (enter) netstat -n will give you the ip addresses, both your local, and any remote connected to your computer, and the port. leave off the -n (just "netstat") to display the reverse dns entry for the IP addresses (give you a better idea what network they are from)

Finding Duplicates in the output of a netstat -a command?
Q. I'm currently logging the count (-c) of the resultant netstat -a command which greps a particular port number. In some cases, I have multiple connections by the same host. I need a way to strip or count the duplicate IP Address from the output using bash or other linux command. This way I could find out the number of unique hosts that are connected. Using uniq does not work when using -d because each line is truly unique, but I'm only looking at one portion of text. Alternatively if I could output the results of just that portion of text, that would work as well. Example tcp 0 0 10.10.10.10:999 192.168.100.1:56767 established tcp 0 0 10.10.10.10:999 192.168.100.2:57881 established tcp 0 0 10.10.10.10:999 192.168.100.1:51473… [cont.]

A. I am not quite familiar how output from netstat looks :) but I'd use something similar to ruby... it can pretty much split line into an array so you can then effectively compare the out addresses.. (i'd sort it first according to the ip, cut the port (and all the stuff you don't care about) and then look for the last occurence of the same ip...) If you want me to write the script send me an e mail.. I'm kind of busy these days but might try it... (my email is my nick here gmail.com
