- Filter TCP sockets by states, only/exclude:

`ss {{state|exclude}} {{bucket|big|connected|synchronized|...}}`

- Show all TCP sockets connected to the local HTTPS port (443):

`ss {{[-t|--tcp]}} src :{{443}}`

- Show all TCP sockets listening on the local 8080 port:

`ss {{[-lt|--listening --tcp]}} src :{{8080}}`

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

`ss {{[-pt|--processes --tcp]}} dst :{{ssh}}`

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

`ss {{[-u|--udp]}} 'sport == :{{source_port}} and dport == :{{destination_port}}'`

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

`ss {{[-4t|--ipv4 --tcp]}} src {{192.168/16}}`

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

`ss {{[-K|--kill]}} dst {{192.168.1.17}} dport = {{8080}}`
