    ssh, ping, dmesg, ps, kill, sleep, xargs }.

    Solution:
    NETSTAT Command
    Netstat command displays various network related information such as network connections, routing tables,
    interface statistics, masquerade connections, multicast memberships etc.,Active Internet connections (servers
    and established)
    netstat -a >> 1912077_myfile4.txt
    command save the below information in this file

    Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State


    Active UNIX domain sockets (servers and established)
    Proto RefCnt Flags Type State I-Node Path
    unix 2 [ ACC ] SEQPACKET LISTENING 1238 /run/WSL/13_interop

    TCPDUMP Command
    tcpdump is a command-line utility that you can use to capture and inspect network traffic going to and from
    your system. It is the most commonly used tool among network administrators for troubleshooting network
    issues and security testing.

    Only root or user with sudo privileges can run tcpdump.The most simple use case is to invoke tcpdump
    without any options and filters:

    sudo tcpdump

    SSH Command
    ssh stands for “Secure Shell”. It is a protocol used to securely connect to a remote server/system. ssh is secure
    in the sense that it transfers the data in encrypted form between the host and the client. It transfers inputs
    from the client to the host and relays back the output. ssh runs at TCP/IP port 22.

    It's syntax is:


    ssh user_name@host(IP/Domain_name)

    PING Command
    PING (Packet Internet Groper) command is used to check the network connectivity between host and
    server/host. This command takes as input the IP address or the URL and sends a data packet to the specified
    address with the message “PING” and gets a response from the server/host this time is recorded which is
    called latency. Fast ping low latency means faster connection.

    It's syntax is:


    ping [URL]

    DMESG Command
    dmesg command, also called “driver message” or “display message” is used to examine the kernel ring buffer
    and print the message buffer of the kernel. The output of this command contains the messages produced by
    the device drivers.
    dmesg -t
    command prints the information below
