5.2 systat and netstat
| The systat and netstat services are interesting because current network and system information can be found easily by connecting to the services using telnet. The /etc/inetd.conf file on a system running systat and netstat typically includes the following lines: systats stream tcp nowait root /usr/bin/ps ps -ef netstat stream tcp nowait root /usr/bin/netstat netstat -a The ps -ef and netstat -a commands are bound to TCP ports 11 and 15, respectively. Example 5-1 shows how to use telnet to connect to the systat service and derive system process information. Example 5-1. Using telnet to connect to the systat service# telnet 192.168.0.1 11 Trying 192.168.0.1... Connected to 192.168.0.1. Escape character is '^]'.
