Enumerates active TCP/UDP connections using OS-linked network structures (list-based enumeration)
Usage:
- View active TCP connections
- Identify listening services
- Map PID ↔ remote IP relationships
- Correlate suspicious processes with network activity
- Quick triage of live connections at capture time
Better than
- Live
netstat.exe(cannot be hooked post-capture) - Manual process-to-socket correlation
Worse than
windows.netscan(does not recover unlinked / DKOM-hidden sockets)- Pool-scanning methods (may miss partially freed objects)
Relies on linked lists → can miss stealthy unlinked network objects.
Commands
# List active TCP/UDP connections (Vol3)
python3 vol.py -f <mem> windows.netstat
# Filter by PID
python3 vol.py -f <mem> windows.netstat --pid <PID>
