That would be an excellent start; I had considered it before, however I thought that netstat only listed listening connections. With lsof, you would only get sockets created with fsocket (those having file descriptors).
I suppose combining the way the two get their information would yield a majority of the sockets created, however I would like to get all internal sockets that may not be listening yet, or never get a file descriptor.
