Based on the netstat output shown in item (d), what is the Layer 4 protocol, connection status, and PID of the process running on port 80?
Display the services currently running.
a. Use the ps command to display all the programs running in the background:
[analyst@secOps ~]$ sudo ps –elf

b. In Linux, programs can also call other programs. The ps command can also be used to display such process hierarchy. Use –ejH options to display the currently running process tree.
[analyst@secOps ~]$ sudo ps –ejH

c. As mentioned before, servers are essentially programs, often started by the system itself at boot time. The task performed by a server is called service. In such fashion, a web server provides web services.
The netstat command is a great tool to help identify the network servers running on a computer. The power of netstat lies on its ability to display network connections.
In the terminal window, type netstat.
[analyst@secOps ~]$ netstat
Active Internet connections (w/o servers)
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State
tcp 0 0 localhost.localdo:48746 localhost.local:wap-wsp ESTABLISHED

d. Use netstat with the –tunap options to adjust the output of netstat. Notice that netstat allows multiple options to be grouped together under the same “- ” sign.
The information for the nginx server is highlighted.
[analyst@secOps ~]$ sudo netstat -tunap

Clients will connect to a port and, using the correct protocol, request information from a server. The netstat output above displays a number of services that are currently listening on specific ports. Interesting columns are:
? The first column shows the Layer 4 protocol in use (UDP or TCP, in this case).
? The third column uses the
? The fourth column uses the same socket format
? The fifth column displays the state of the connection.
? The sixth column displays the process ID (PID) of the process responsible for the connection. It also displays a short name associated to the process.
TCP, LISTEN and 395.
