Re: RAdmin detector for Win32

One last question, since I'm not so much a Win32 guy...

Does NETSTAT for Win32 create any outbound Ethernet traffic? Or does it do its thing entirely on its own side of the port?

Put another way, will running NETSTAT in a loop raise alarms on the network and bring down the lowering brow of IT SysAdmin types?

netstat wont create any outbound ethernet traffic. As explained nicely in RFC 1147, netstat is... ...a program that accesses network related data structures within the kernel, then provides an ASCII format at the terminal. Netstat can provide reports on the routing table, TCP connections, TCP and UDP "listens," and protocol memory management So running netstat in a loop wont bring your local sysadmin running for the reason you cite. Obviously, running anything in a loop without care may cause other problems. cheers, Anth	[reply]
