Ncat is a feature-packed networking utility which reads and
writes data across networks from the command line. Ncat was written
for the Nmap Project as a much-improved reimplementation of the
venerable Netcat. It uses
both TCP and UDP for communication and is designed to be a reliable
back-end tool to instantly provide network connectivity to other
applications and users. Ncat will not only work with IPv4 and IPv6 but
provides the user with a virtually limitless number of potential uses.
Among Ncat’s vast number of features there is the ability to chain
Ncats together, redirect both TCP and UDP ports to other sites, SSL
support, and proxy connections via SOCKS4 or HTTP (CONNECT method)
proxies (with optional proxy authentication as well). Some general
principles apply to most applications and thus give you the capability
of instantly adding networking support to software that would normally
never support it.
Ncat is integrated with Nmap in
the latest SVN
revision and is also available in Nmap version 4.85BETA1 and later (see the Nmap download page).
The Ncat Users' Guide contains full
documentation including many tips, tricks, and practical real-life examples! There is also an Ncat man page for a quick usage summary.
