While performing a security audit, an administrator discovers that a machine is accepting connections on TCP port 184, but it is not obvious which process has the port open. Which of the following…

`traceroute` diagnoses network paths and is irrelevant for identifying processes listening on local ports.

`strace` traces system calls and signals for a running process or command, but it's not designed to identify which process is listening on a specific port without knowing the process beforehand.

`debug` is too generic; there's no single standard `debug` command for this purpose.

`nessus` is a vulnerability scanner used for identifying security weaknesses, not for determining which local process is holding a specific port open.

`lsof` (List Open Files) is a powerful utility that can list all open files and network connections along with the processes that own them. Using `lsof -i :184` would specifically show which process is listening on TCP port 184, identifying the responsible service.
