Linux Networking Tools - ss, nmap, dig, netcat, ping, tcpdump, socat, top, ethtool A Thread 👇

SS - ss command is a tool that is used for displaying network socket related information on a Linux system.

nmap - Nmap is short for Network Mapper. It is an open-source Linux cmd-line tool that is used to scan IPs & ports in a nw & to detect installed apps. Nmap allows nw admins to find which devices r running on their nw, discover open ports & services, and detect vulnerabilities.

@devops_tech I didn’t previously know about ss. Thanks! On MacOS I used “netstat -an” and lsof to (eventually) track down the process listening on the port, but ss seems more convenient.

@devops_tech LOL ... netstat is the old you say. Damn man, that made me feel old 😂
