Try this. Just press Ctrl+Alt+T on your keyboard to open Terminal. When it opens, run the command(s) below:

sudo netstat -ap | grep :<port_number>

Also you can try this to close the socket connection

tcpkill -i eth0 host xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx and port yyyy

Replace X with the IP address, and Y with the port number.

also take a look at tcpkill and cutter command

A sudo before tcpkill might help – RickyA Mar 30 '16 at 08:11
Does not work... sudo: tcpkill: command not found – kwoxer Jun 02 '16 at 11:41
@kwoxer use this command to install tcpkill. sudo apt-get install dsniff – Mitch Jun 02 '16 at 11:44
Well I solved it with kill -9 .... No use of an extra tool. Worked well with kill. – kwoxer Jun 02 '16 at 18:32
