Let me back up. Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, and Windows XP do not have DOS. They have a command line that looks a hell of a lot like DOS. Windows 95, 98, ME have DOS. For the point of this disscusion DOS and commandline are the same thing.(Even though they really are not) The netstat DOS help file is shown below
Displays protocol statistics and current TCP/IP network connections.
NETSTAT [-a] [-e] [-n] [-s] [-p proto] [-r] [interval]
-a Displays all connections and listening ports.
-e Displays Ethernet statistics. This may be combined with the -s
option.
-n Displays addresses and port numbers in numerical form.
-p proto Shows connections for the protocol specified by proto; proto
may be TCP or UDP. If used with the -s option to display
per-protocol statistics, proto may be TCP, UDP, or IP.
-r Displays the routing table.
-s Displays per-protocol statistics. By default, statistics are
shown for TCP, UDP and IP; the -p option may be used to specify
a subset of the default.
interval Redisplays selected statistics, pausing interval seconds
between each display. Press CTRL+C to stop redisplaying
statistics. If omitted, netstat will print the current
configuration information once.
The letters you see are known as switches or attributes. Each one dose something different. You can combine them to spit out even more info. Play with the switches a bit and you will see al kinds of good info. I think you might find netstat -s useful | | | | | Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 419 UGN Member | | UGN Member Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 419 | outstanding info. For the first time ever since my curiosity in programming a computing was peaked again, i got staright friendly answers that made sense, without the flame. you guys rock. ty. and i gues that's why googling it didn't work. another thing where is the documentation on that sin? so i don't have to ask about comannd line stuff. as for the difference Between the command line and DOS, i'll google it

"netstat -h"
in the command line. I do not mind helping you out because you didn't come in here asking stupid questions. I do flame people. But they usally ask stuff like, How do I hack hotmail or can anyone help me get free adult content. You seek knowledge and are willing to work for it. That will get you help in here real fast.

C:\>heh Damn_newb, sintax is one of the most knowledgeable members here. He only flames when someone needs to be flamed. This wasnt a stupid question like he said. Also, about searching google for information on commands, type them in quotes like this: That acctually searches for the command, as well as the -an flag. In google, typing "-an" after something will mean that you dont want to return results that contain "an". Putting it in quotes searches for the exact string of text. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 419 UGN Member | | UGN Member Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 419 | well look at that, that was something i half knew, i knew anout the quotes for exact matches but not about the minus thing. and i typed it in and sure enough there it was and even how to read what i pulled up, woot.(oops gamer)

EDIT: I heard that port 5000 is a trojan port, and my computer is listening to it. What's it actually for?

No port is reserved for a trojan. A trojan may use a specific port but when the brain trust developed TCP/IP protocol suit they did not say lets reserve port XXXX for a trojan commplex-main 5000/tcp commplex-main 5000/udp Looks like port 5000 can be used with TCP or UDP RFC 739 TCP(TRANSMISSION CONTROL PROTOCOL) ftp://ftp.rfc-editor.org/in-notes/rfc793.txt RFC 768 UDP(User Datagram Protocol) ftp://ftp.rfc-editor.org/in-notes/rfc768.txt Think of TCP and UDP as similar but different protocols. Also study the OSI modle. Here is a basic TCP/IP protocol stack in relation to the OSI model ![[Linked Image]](http://www.protocols.com/pbook/images/tcpipmap.gif) As you can see both UDP and TCP are on the transport layer of the OSI modle. This is because they are both used for transport. Read and understand what I just gave you and you will have better questions to ask. If you want to learn to network security.. Study the TCP/IP prtocol stack. Everything you do in a network involves at least several protocols. Learn how the work. How networking in general works. What each layer of the OSI modle describes. How the TCP/IP modle stack is laid out *When authentication starts* Oh and here is where number systems come in handy... | | | | | Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 7,203 Likes: 11 Community Owner | | Community Owner Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 7,203 Likes: 11 | in a nut shell; anything can run on any ports; just some are more common than others. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2003 Posts: 209 Member | | Member Joined: Oct 2003 Posts: 209 | Spanky..

| | | | | Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 7,203 Likes: 11 Community Owner | | Community Owner Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 7,203 Likes: 11 | I made perfect sense. Any program can open a port, the ports aren't assigned to anything, a program can run on any port it wants; just some ports have more common services running on it than others...
21 is known for FTP because most FTP clients run on it, hence 21 is most commonly used for FTP, however if you don't have an FTP server you can run a program on that same port and accept connections. With FTP servers also you can tell it to listen on any other port, even 25 which is for SMTP... | | | | | Joined: Dec 2002 Posts: 3,255 Likes: 3 UGN Elite | | UGN Elite Joined: Dec 2002 Posts: 3,255 Likes: 3 | Just read it. TCP and UDP are the transport protocols for most everything you do on the net. Do you know what level/layer the authentication starts yet? | | |
