Shane – Thanks for your feedback and for sharing. Nmap is a great little utility! It falls beyond the scope I had in mind for this article (hence why I didn’t include it), but nonetheless I would highly recommend people check it out.

J. Paul – Thanks for your feedback. Glad you found the article useful. I agree, some tools out there are memory hogs. Like you, I prefer it when things are kept simple!

Jerome Paulines – I’m a big fan of the SysInternals suite of tools, but I’ve also found in the past that some AVs can pick them up as Malware/Trojans – usually a result of a false positive by the AV or because the utilities use a programming function similar to what a real piece of Malware/Trojan would use.

Be careful about using the Tcpview.exe command. This is because it will do its work even without you knowing it is doing the work. In short, it can function even without your permission, which for me is a ground for a malicious program just like viruses and spywares do. My latest anti-virus program (a paid program that is) alarmed me about it. Although it’s a useful tool, I just hope its next version can be tamed a little bit.

Thanks for the guide. I’ve been using mainly the SysInternals thingy and am quite pleased with it. These tools are all so simple and with no fluffs but they are exactly what an admin needs. All these tools with nice GUI that take all the RAM can’t compare with the efficiency of these simple tools.
