I love that you simply worked through the commands and explained it very clearly. Great video A++

Are you okay?

Edit: for the people laughing and joking in the replies, this comment was not meant to be poking fun at the poster of this video. at the time of posting the comment I was legitimately concerned because he sounds like he has trouble breathing

P.S: this is directed at the maker of the video. If this comment has offended you I will be more than happy to remove it. apologies if it seemed rude. that was not my intention.

This is one of the most awesome videos I have seen.... and I have seen a lot during 14 years of my career. Its short, crisp and precise. Glad to learn this.

Excellent, but couldnt find the 'Tcp View' part

[alejandrorabinovich]

Thanks!! This vid helped me understand a little bit more about netstat and to identify some things i was concerned of

[mattconnor]

He says now ill connect to the ftp server.. Then he goes off screen. Shows or explains nothing on that part of the process. Any help?

[WmTyndale]

Very nice take-through those options. Immediately useful!

[riyanshujain]

Amazing....

just a request can u make a video for whois prompt...???

[unwine]

I have active connections for msedge established even after the browser is closed (3 minutes) is this normal?

[STARFISH]

What ftp server are you using and are you running it on a separate machine? This is a very helpful video by the way

[zigaudrey]

And I thought, for safety measure, the use of command prompt is reduced to chkdsk and sfc.
There are a lot of features a basic user doesn't know, even those double edged swords such as cipher. Is there a way to disable some commands?

Hi! I'm creating a c# program that pass information through TCP, the program creates a server in a specific port but I can’t connect the client, can someone help me. I’m looking for some command to ping a specific port. Thanks!!

I remember doing this during a file transfer on messenger or icq to obtain ip addresses

[apranav]

I have a doubt sir.It would be helpful if you clear it.There are computers connected to my pc but I can't view their ip.I can only see my ip.I am sure they are connected to my network too as I even viewed internet from them.They also don't have a vpn.I am sure of it.Thank you in advance!!!Pls help!!!

Is there a command to stop or block a malware foreign address connection?

[trashdoom]

If i use netstat -a it says local address adclick:0. and if i scroll down it says desktop... is it a virus or is it normal?

[-py]

Hey it says the requested operation requires elevation when enter netstat - b
And when entering - f
Netstat is not recognized as an internal or external command operable program or batch file.

[richardnailhistorical]

I believe my IP address has been hacked, is there a way I can look through Netstat to find out anybody who may be on my IP that should not be there?

[skerbeles]

Having about 75 established connections what does it mean? How its even possible?
