Netcat 1.10 =========== /\_/\ / 0 0 \ Netcat is a simple Unix utility which reads and writes data ====v==== across network connections, using TCP or UDP protocol.
Since netcat only handles one listening connection per run, make sure that whatever way you rig it causes another one to run and listen on 6000 soon afterward, or your real X server will be reachable once again.
Netcat's mechanism of wrapping an alarm timer around the connect prevents the *real* network error from being returned -- "errno" at that point indicates "interrupted system call" since the connect attempt was interrupted.

 Netcat - a couple of useful examples
By default, netcat creates a TCP socket either in listening mode (server socket) or a socket that is used in order to connect to a server (client mode).
Actually, netcat does not care whether the socket is meant to be a server or a client.
In this example, netcat scanned the 80-90 range of ports and reported that port 80 is open on the remote machine.

There is also a version called GNU Netcat in the works, though I believe it lacks some of the functionality of the original.
netcat can be really useful if you want to transfer a file between two hosts but dont want to download, install and configure an FTP server which might take long time if all you want todo is to quickly transfer a little file.
But I think that maybe its not a good to run it on a server for backup scripts since it can overwrite that file and other people can connect to the netcat too and write their data or fill up the diskspace unless that port is filtered to a specific IP addr.

Netcat was written 5 years ago to perform exactly this kind of magic - allowing the user to make network connections between machines without any programming.
We've just seen how netcat can be used as a tcp/ip client program, allowing us to connect to a remote server, send a request, and pass off the response to some other program.
Since the first netcat is listening to that pipe, these responses get handed to that first netcat, which then dutifully gives them back to the original client.

 Everything you need to know about Netcat on Tech Pedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-04)
Netcat can be obtained from many sources, and even though many Unix distributions come with Netcat binaries already installed, it’s not a bad idea to obtain the Netcat source code and compile it yourself.
The basic command line for Netcat is nc [options] host ports, where host is the hostname or IP address to target and ports is either a single port, a port range (specified “m-n”), or individual ports separated by spaces.
This is useful if you’re using Netcat to obtain information on a large range of ports on the system and you want to mix up the order of both the source and destination ports to make it look less like a port scan.

 NetCat Security
Netcat can be used as port scanner, a backdoor, a port redirector, a port listener and lots of other cool things too.
In order to act as a backdoor we need Netcat to listen on a chosen port on the IIS server (lets choose port 10001) and then we can connect to this port from our attacking machine…using Netcat of course!
This should have started Netcat listening on port 10001 on the IIS machine and should connect the cmd.exe process to the connection stream.
