## lsof

list of open files
```bash
lsof -i -P -n | grep LISTEN
```

## netstat

Print network connections, routing tables, interface statistics, masquerade connections, and multicast memberships 
```bash
netstat -tulpn | grep LISTEN
```

## ss

utility to investigate sockets
```bash
ss -tulpn | grep LISTEN
```

## nmap

network exploration tool, port scanner

```bash
nmap -open 192.168.3.34
```

## scanning open ports on remote IP address

```bash
nc -zv 192.168.3.34 2>&1 1-1024 | grep -v refused
```

this scans open ports in the range of 1 to 1024 on the above IP address. redirects the error output to standard outoput and matches all lines except refused

## scanning all open ports on the subnet using nmap

```bash
