List of possible internal socket statuses from /proc

Question

I would like to know the possible values of st column in /proc/net/tcp. I think the st column equates to STATE column from netst

Answer 1

They should match to the enum in ./include/net/tcp_states.h in the linux kernel sources:

enum {
    TCP_ESTABLISHED = 1,
    TCP_SYN_SENT,
    TCP_SYN_RECV,
    TCP_FIN_WAIT1,
    TCP_FIN_WAIT2,
    TCP_TIME_WAIT,
    TCP_CLOSE,
    TCP_CLOSE_WAIT,
    TCP_LAST_ACK,
    TCP_LISTEN,
    TCP_CLOSING,    /* Now a valid state */

    TCP_MAX_STATES  /* Leave at the end! */
};

As for your 2. question, are you really sure there's not an sshd listening on e.g. 0.0.0.0:22 ? If not, I suspect what you're seeing is related to v4-mapped-on-v6 sockets, see e.g. man 7 ipv6
