No raw sockets open just tcp and udp connections to the local machine Active Internet connections (servers and established) Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State tcp 0 0 *:32768 *:* LISTEN tcp 0 0 *:32774 *:* LISTEN tcp 0 0 *:sunrpc *:* LISTEN tcp 0 0 *:x11 *:* LISTEN tcp 0 0 *:ssh *:* LISTEN tcp 0 0 *:728 *:* LISTEN udp 0 0 *:nfs *:* udp 0 0 *:32769 *:* udp 0 0 *:32834 *:* udp 0 0 *:32835 *:* udp 0 0 *:bootpc *:* udp 0 0 *:725 *:* udp 0 0 *:sunrpc *:* Active UNIX domain sockets (servers and established) Proto RefCnt Flags Type State I-Node Path You dont want the rest of the list it is huge!
