ss - another utility to investigate sockets
ss [options] [ FILTER ]
ss is used to dump socket statistics. It allows showing information
similar to netstat. It can display more TCP and state informations
than other tools.
When no option is used ss displays a list of open non-listening
sockets (e.g. TCP/UNIX/UDP) that have established connection.
-h, --help
Show summary of options.
-V, --version
Output version information.
-H, --no-header
Suppress header line.
-n, --numeric
Do not try to resolve service names.
-r, --resolve
Try to resolve numeric address/ports.
-a, --all
Display both listening and non-listening (for TCP this means
established connections) sockets.
-l, --listening
Display only listening sockets (these are omitted by default).
-o, --options
Show timer information.
-e, --extended
Show detailed socket information
-m, --memory
Show socket memory usage.
-p, --processes
Show process using socket.
-i, --info
Show internal TCP information.
-K, --kill
Attempts to forcibly close sockets. This option displays
sockets that are successfully closed and silently skips
sockets that the kernel does not support closing. It supports
IPv4 and IPv6 sockets only.
-s, --summary
Print summary statistics. This option does not parse socket
lists obtaining summary from various sources. It is useful
when amount of sockets is so huge that parsing /proc/net/tcp
is painful.
-Z, --context
As the -p option but also shows process security context.
For netlink(7) sockets the initiating process context is
displayed as follows:
1. If valid pid show the process context.
2. If destination is kernel (pid = 0) show kernel
initial context.
3. If a unique identifier has been allocated by the
kernel or netlink user, show context as
"unavailable". This will generally indicate that a
process has more than one netlink socket active.
-z, --contexts
As the -Z option but also shows the socket context. The socket
context is taken from the associated inode and is not the
actual socket context held by the kernel. Sockets are
typically labeled with the context of the creating process,
however the context shown will reflect any policy role, type
and/or range transition rules applied, and is therefore a
useful reference.
-N NSNAME, --net=NSNAME
Switch to the specified network namespace name.
-b, --bpf
Show socket BPF filters (only administrators are allowed to
get these information).
-4, --ipv4
Display only IP version 4 sockets (alias for -f inet).
-6, --ipv6
Display only IP version 6 sockets (alias for -f inet6).
-0, --packet
Display PACKET sockets (alias for -f link).
-t, --tcp
Display TCP sockets.
-u, --udp
Display UDP sockets.
-d, --dccp
Display DCCP sockets.
-w, --raw
Display RAW sockets.
-x, --unix
Display Unix domain sockets (alias for -f unix).
-S, --sctp
Display SCTP sockets.
-f FAMILY, --family=FAMILY
Display sockets of type FAMILY. Currently the following
families are supported: unix, inet, inet6, link, netlink.
-A QUERY, --query=QUERY, --socket=QUERY
List of socket tables to dump, separated by commas. The
following identifiers are understood: all, inet, tcp, udp,
raw, unix, packet, netlink, unix_dgram, unix_stream,
unix_seqpacket, packet_raw, packet_dgram, dccp, sctp.
-D FILE, --diag=FILE
Do not display anything, just dump raw information about TCP
sockets to FILE after applying filters. If FILE is - stdout is
used.
-F FILE, --filter=FILE
Read filter information from FILE. Each line of FILE is
interpreted like single command line option. If FILE is -
stdin is used.
FILTER := [ state STATE-FILTER ] [ EXPRESSION ]
Please take a look at the official documentation (Debian
package iproute-doc) for details regarding filters.
STATE-FILTER allows to construct arbitrary set of states to match.
Its syntax is sequence of keywords state and exclude followed by
identifier of state.
Available identifiers are:
All standard TCP states: established, syn-sent, syn-recv, fin-
wait-1, fin-wait-2, time-wait, closed, close-wait, last-ack,
listen and closing.
all - for all the states
connected - all the states except for listen and closed
synchronized - all the connected states except for syn-sent
bucket - states, which are maintained as minisockets, i.e.
time-wait and syn-recv
big - opposite to bucket
ss -t -a
Display all TCP sockets.
ss -t -a -Z
Display all TCP sockets with process SELinux security
contexts.
ss -u -a
Display all UDP sockets.
ss -o state established '( dport = :ssh or sport = :ssh )'
Display all established ssh connections.
ss -x src /tmp/.X11-unix/*
Find all local processes connected to X server.
ss -o state fin-wait-1 '( sport = :http or sport = :https )' dst
193.233.7/24
List all the tcp sockets in state FIN-WAIT-1 for our apache to
network 193.233.7/24 and look at their timers.
