How many services are listening on the target system on all interfaces? (Not on localhost and IPv4 only)
From man netstat:
This program is mostly obsolete. Replacement for netstat is ss.
At this point, I think this will be the best option:
ss -l -4 | grep -v "127\.0\.0" | grep "LISTEN" | wc -l
Where:
- -l: show only listening services
- -4: show only ipv4
- -grep -v "127.0.0": exclude all localhost results
- -grep "LISTEN": better filtering only listening services
- wc -l: count results
