Explanation

netstat (network statistics) is the standard command-line utility on Windows and Unix/Linux systems for displaying active TCP/UDP connections, listening ports, routing tables, and network interface statistics. Running 'netstat -an' shows all active connections and their states. netsh is a network configuration tool, nbtstat handles NetBIOS over TCP/IP name resolution, and nslookup queries DNS - none are designed to enumerate active connections.
