[[Windows]] and [[UNIX]] network utility.

Quote from the Web site:
: Netcat has been dubbed the network swiss army knife. It is a simple Unix utility which reads and writes data across [[Network|network]] connections, using [[TCP]] or [[UDP]] [[Protocol|protocol]]. 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 and has several interesting built-in capabilities. Netcat is now part of the [[Red_Hat|Red Hat]] Power Tools collection and comes standard on [[SuSE]] [[Linux]], [[Debian]] Linux, [[NetBSD]] and [[OpenBSD]] distributions.

Available as <code>nc</code> on many [[Nix|*nix]] based systems.

Versions for both [[Nix|*nix]] and [[Windows]] are available from [http://www.atstake.com/research/tools/ @stake].

There is also [[Socat|socat]], which is netcat on steroids.
