Summary

Windows cmd has command equivalents for many commonly used Linux commands. For example, to filter output for HTTPS connections, Linux uses `lsof -s | grep 'https'`, while Windows uses `netstat -n -a | findstr "https"`.

Key Takeaways

The Windows equivalent of the Linux command `lsof -s | grep 'https'` is `netstat -n -a | findstr "https"`.
To check which service is listening on which port, the Linux command `netstat -tulpn` corresponds to `netstat -ano` in Windows.
The command to view active running processes in Linux, `top` or `ps aux`, is equivalent to `tasklist` in Windows.
The command to terminate a process by its Process ID in Linux, `kill -9 1234`, is represented as `taskkill /F /PID 1234` in Windows.
