A quick bunch of tools that are now in my “tool box” to help with figuring out what might be wrong with a network.
Ping: tests connectivity between devices on a network.
Traceroute: tracks the path data takes to reach its destination.
Ipconfig/ifconfig: displays network configuration details on Windows/Linux systems.
Nslookup: queries DNS to obtain domain name or IP address mapping.
Netstat: displays network connections, routing tables and interface statistics.
Wireshark: captures and analyzes network traffic.
Nmap: scans networks for open ports and services.
Tcpdump: captures and analyzes network packets on Unix-like systems.
Pathping: combines ping and traceroute to identify network issues.
Mtr (My Traceroute): provides continuous network path analysis.
Seems like a few of these tools I already knew about and look forward to playing around with for sure.
