    Netstat

    Alright, What does the state section mean? I am guessing 'just what it says'.
    But I don't exactly understand, or know.. hell.. currently I guess I'm just rambling.
    I'm getting connected to by the same IP on various ports and the state. Is different things..
    Is the guy 'hacking' me, or whatnot. I know it's a person and not just a server..

    Proto Local Address Foreign Address State
    TCP 127.0.0.1:2656 127.0.0.1:8431 TIME_WAIT

    It was rather simple....

    I googled for Netstat +State meaning

    I suggest you check out the tutorial by d00dz Attackin if you don't have much experience with google, it is a great resource.

    Yes, it's a software loopback. It doesn't use hardware and isn't connected to any network. It's mainly for testing software and checking for OSI Layer 1 issues.

    No i knew

    No I knew that 127.0.0.1 is a psuedo-IP loopback thingier.. I forgot to state that I was using it for an example. lol and I read the Google Article around the same time I posted and I did find it very useful.. I'm just lazy I guess for not putting time into Googling my problems at times. Sorry guys..
