| This simple utility reads and writes data across TCP or UDP network
connections. It is designed to be a reliable back-end tool that can be
used directly or easily driven by other programs and scripts. At the
same time, it is a feature-rich network debugging and exploration tool,
since it can create almost any kind of connection you would need,
including port binding to accept incoming connections. The original
Netcat was released
by Hobbit in 1995, but it hasn't been maintained despite its immense
popularity. It can sometimes even be hard to find nc110.tgz. The
flexibility and usefulness of this tool have prompted people to write
numerous other Netcat implementations - often with modern features not
found in the original. One of the most interesting is Socat, which extends
Netcat to support many other socket types, SSL encryption, SOCKS
proxies, and more. It even made this list on its own merits. There is
also Chris Gibson's
Ncat, which offers even more features while remaining portable and
compact. Other takes on Netcat include OpenBSD's
nc, Cryptcat, Netcat6, PNetcat, SBD, and so-called GNU Netcat.
