Network command from the Command Prompt

[semiles]

Does anyone know the command line to monitor Network security from the command prompt. I think there is a way that I can do this from the command prompt to actually see where a hacker has attempted to break in. Can anyone help

Well, there's NETSH, which allows one to administer several of the network services.

There's NETSTAT which allows you to see all your open ports and who your computer is connecting to and allowing connections from at a given time.

There's also NETDIAG (resource kit) that does a thorough going-over of your network configuration and gives you a detailed report of its findings.

And then there are the ubiquitous NET commands which do all sorts of things but probably wouldn't allow you to DETECT hacking, but can enable you to change certain things like passwords and domain account security configurations.

Hope this pointed you in the right direction. If any of these looks useful, type that name into the search engine at

and look for instructions on how to use it. You will find more information than people here can provide and it will save people a lot of typing.

Go to a command prompt and type net help. See if there's anything in there you like. I use net send all the time to communicate with my other W2K and XP users. Glen A. Johnson
