CompTIA Network+ (N10-007) — Question 217

A technician must determine if a web page user's visits are connecting to a suspicious website's IP address in the background. Which of the following tools would provide the information on TCP connections?

Answer options

• A. netstat
• B. tracert
• C. arp
• D. ipconfig
• E. route

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is netstat, as it displays active TCP connections and their statuses, allowing the technician to see any suspicious IP addresses. The other options like tracert are used for tracing the route to a destination, arp is for resolving IP to MAC addresses, ipconfig displays network configuration details, and route is for managing network routing tables, none of which provide TCP connection information.
