Description
Originally released in 1996, Netcat is a networking program designed to read and write
data across both Transmission Control Protocol TCP and User Datagram Protocol (UDP)
connections using the TCP/Internet Protocol (IP) protocol suite. Netcat is often referred
toas a ”Swiss Army knife” utility, and for good reason. Just like the multi-function usefulness of the venerable Swiss Army pocket knife, Netcat’s functionality is helpful as both
a standalone program and a back-end tool in a wide range of applications. Some of the
many uses of Netcat include port scanning, transferring files, grabbing banners, port
listening and redirection, and more nefariously, a backdoor.
There is some debate on the origin of the name Netcat, but one of the more
common (and believable) explanations is that Netcat is simply a network version of
the vulnerable catprogram. Just as cat reads and writes information to files, Netcat
reads and writes information across network connections. Furthermore, Netcat is
specifically designed to behave as cat does.
Originally coded for UNIX, and despite not originally being maintained on a
regular basis, Netcat has been rewritten into a number of versions and implementations. It has been ported to a number of operating systems, but is most often seen on
various Linux distributions as well as Microsoft Windows.
