To verify if a particular port is actively listening for connections, one effective method involves utilizing the grep command alongside the ss utility.

The ss command stands for socket statistics and offers a detailed overview of network socket information.

When combined with grep, it allows for filtering through the extensive data provided by ss to pinpoint specific details.

For instance, running the command "ss -tuln" will display all listening TCP sockets on the system.

The options "-t" specify TCP sockets, "-u" denote UDP sockets, "-l" filters for listening sockets, and "-n" ensures that addresses and ports are displayed numerically.
