Does anyone know a Linux equivalent to the Windows Utility Netcat??
um.. the win doze utility?
Here's an old nc man page, from the Red Hat distro:
NC(1) BSD General Commands Manual NC(1)
NAME
nc - arbitrary TCP and UDP connections and listensSYNOPSIS
nc [-e command] [-g intermediates] [-G hopcount] [-i interval] [-lnrtuvz]
[-o filename] [-p source port] [-s ip address] [-w timeout] [hostname]
[port[s...]]
DESCRIPTION
The nc (or netcat) utility is used for just about anything under the sun
involving TCP or UDP. It can open TCP connections, send UDP packets,
listen on arbitrary TCP and UDP ports, do port scanning, and source rout-
ing. Unlike telnet(1), nc scripts nicely, and separates error messages
onto standard error instead of sending them to standard output, as
telnet(1) does with some.
