Using Netcat: Remote Admin, Messages, Network I/O all together

If you are in any way familiar with Unix Networking, you might have stumbled upon netcat.


Netcat is often referred as the "Swiss Army Knife" of TCP/IP. You could use it as a handy port scanner, whenever nmap is out of reach, you can transfer files between workstations, set up a temporary Web Server, troubleshoot network issues, use it as a telnet client, etc.
