| | 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. |
