Determining at what time a currently open TCP connection was created?

Solution 1:

I was able to use lsof to get the file descriptor, then ran stat /proc/<PID>/fd/<file descriptor> to get the date.

Solution 2:

A combination of lsof and /proc as suggested by @opsguy should do the job:

lsof -P -i tcp | awk '{print $2,$4}' | tr -d 'u' | sort -u \
| while read pid fd; do stat --printf "%z %N\n" /proc/$pid/fd/$fd ; done | sort -r
