[-A|–all-fqdns] [-i|–ip-address] [-I|–all-ip-addresses]
[-s|–short] [-y|–yp|–nis]

18
Q

A

Command: 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.

ss [options] [ FILTER ]

19
Q

ping

A

Command: ping uses the ICMP protocol’s mandatory ECHO_REQUEST datagram to elicit an ICMP ECHO_RESPONSE from a host or gateway.

Used with a -4 or -6 it can ping IPv4 or IPv6.

ping [-aAbBdDfhLnOqrRUvV46] [-c count] [-F flowlabel]
[-i interval] [-I interface] [-l preload] [-m mark]
[-M pmtudisc_option] [-N nodeinfo_option] [-w deadline] [-W timeout] [-p pattern] [-Q tos] [-s packetsize] [-S sndbuf] [-t ttl] [-T timestamp option] [hop…] destination

20
Q

ping6

A

Command: ping uses the ICMP protocol’s mandatory ECHO_REQUEST datagram to elicit an ICMP ECHO_RESPONSE from a host or gateway.

Used with a -4 or -6 it can ping IPv4 or IPv6.

ping [-aAbBdDfhLnOqrRUvV46] [-c count] [-F flowlabel]
[-i interval] [-I interface] [-l preload] [-m mark]
[-M pmtudisc_option] [-N nodeinfo_option] [-w deadline] [-W timeout] [-p pattern] [-Q tos] [-s packetsize] [-S sndbuf] [-t ttl] [-T timestamp option] [hop…] destination

21
Q

traceroute

A

Command: traceroute tracks the route packets taken from an IP network on their way to a given host. It
utilizes the IP protocol’s time to live (TTL) field and attempts to elicit an ICMP TIME_EXCEEDED response from each gateway along the path to the host.

traceroute6 is equivalent to traceroute -6

traceroute [-46dFITUnreAV] [-f first_ttl] [-g gate,…]
[-i device] [-m max_ttl] [-p port] [-s src_addr] [-q nqueries] [-N squeries] [-t tos] [-l flow_label] [-w waittimes]
[-z sendwait] [-UL] [-D] [-P proto] [–sport=port]
[-M method] [-O mod_options] [–mtu] [–back]
host [packet_len]

22
Q

traceroute6

A

Command: traceroute tracks the route packets taken from an IP network on their way to a given host. It
utilizes the IP protocol’s time to live (TTL) field and attempts to elicit an ICMP TIME_EXCEEDED response from each gateway along the path to the host.

traceroute6 is equivalent to traceroute -6

traceroute [-46dFITUnreAV] [-f first_ttl] [-g gate,…]
[-i device] [-m max_ttl] [-p port] [-s src_addr] [-q nqueries] [-N squeries] [-t tos] [-l flow_label] [-w waittimes]
[-z sendwait] [-UL] [-D] [-P proto] [–sport=port]
[-M method] [-O mod_options] [–mtu] [–back]

23
Q

tracepath

A

Command: It traces path to destination discovering MTU along this path. It uses UDP port port or some random port. It is similar to traceroute, only does not not require superuser privileges and has no fancy options.

tracepath6 is the IPv6 equivalent to tracepath.

tracepath [ -n] [ -l pktlen] destination [ port]

24
Q

tracepath6

A

Command: It traces path to destination discovering MTU along this path. It uses UDP port port or some random port. It is similar to traceroute, only does not not require superuser privileges and has no fancy options.

tracepath6 is the IPv6 equivalent to tracepath.

tracepath [ -n] [ -l pktlen] destination [ port]

25
Q

netcat

A

Command: netcat is a simple unix utility which reads and writes data across network connections, using TCP or UDP protocol.

nc [-options] hostname port[s] [ports] …

26
Q

A

Command: Ifconfig is used to configure the kernel-resident network interfaces.

ifconfig [-v] [-a] [-s] [interface]

Command: Route manipulates the kernel’s IP routing tables. Its primary use is to set up static routes to specific hosts or networks via an interface after it has been configured with the ifconfig(8) program.

route [-CFvnNee] [-A family |-4|-6]

29
Q

109.4 Configure client side DNS

A

The following is a partial list of the used files, terms and utilities:

/etc/resolv.conf
/etc/nsswitch.conf
host

[-t type] [-W wait] [-m flag] [[-4] | [-6]] [-v] [-V] {name} [server]

34
Q

dig

A

Command: dig (domain information groper) is a flexible tool for interrogating DNS name servers. It performs DNS lookups and displays the answers that are returned from the name server(s) that were queried.

dig [@server] [-b address] [-c class] [-f filename] [-k filename] [-m] [-p port#] [-q name] [-t type] [-x addr] [-y [hmac:]name:key] [-4] [-6] [name] [type] [class] [queryopt…]

35
