Which command can be used to view active network connections?

The command that can be used to view active network connections is Netstat. This command provides a detailed list of all the active connections to and from your computer, along with information about the protocols being used and the status of each connection.

Netstat is particularly useful for diagnosing network issues and monitoring network activity because it displays active TCP connections, UDP listening ports, and various network statistics. This tool helps network administrators and users understand the current state of their network, identifying any potentially unauthorized connections or troubleshooting connectivity issues.

In contrast, while commands like Ipconfig, Ping, and Tracert serve specific networking purposes, they do not provide an overview of active connections. Ipconfig is used to display network configuration information, Ping tests connectivity to a specific IP address, and Tracert shows the route packets take to reach a network destination, but none of these commands lists active connections like Netstat does.
