Netcat is the swiss army knife of the hackers. Netcat is used for file (exploit) transfer, finding open ports & remote administration (Bind & Reverse Shells). You can manually connect to any network service like HTTP using netcat. Another utility is to listen on any UDP/TCP ports on your machine for any incoming connections.

  • Windows: ncat.exe
  • Linux:
