+There's a great thread on [ask ubuntu](https://askubuntu.com/questions/104739/which-applications-are-using-internet) on seeing which applications are using the Internet. I'm going to add my own spin on the answers for future reference.
+
+```bash
+lsof -i | awk '{print $1}' | uniq | tail -n +2
+```
+
+Breaking it down...
+
+- `lsof -i` shows us a lot of information pertaining to processes accessing the Internet.
+- `awk '{print $1}'` filters the last output to only shown us the `COMMAND` column.
+- `uniq` filters out multiple occurrences of a single application.
+- `tail -n +2` removes the first `COMMAND` line.
