`ss -lt src :{{8080}}`

- Show all TCP sockets along with processes connected to a remote SSH port:

`ss -pt dst :{{ssh}}`

- Show all UDP sockets connected on specific source and destination ports:

`ss -u 'sport == :{{source_port}} and dport == :{{destination_port}}'`

- Show all TCP IPv4 sockets locally connected on the subnet 192.168.0.0/16:

`ss -4t src {{192.168/16}}`

- Kill IPv4 or IPv6 Socket Connection with destination IP 192.168.1.17 and destination port 8080:

`ss --kill dst {{192.168.1.17}} dport = {{8080}}`
