Description

Lsof (which stands for "List of Open Files") is a file management application for Unix-like operating systems. It provides a detailed list of all open files and the processes associated with them. It can be used to identify which files are being used by which processes, and to troubleshoot open files or processes. It is a valuable tool for system administrators and security professionals, as it can be used to identify suspicious files or processes that are running on a system. Lsof can also be used to monitor file system activity, such as which files are being accessed, when they are opened, and by which processes. It can also be used to monitor network connections and sockets.
