- Netcat is a featured networking utility which reads and writes data across
- network connections, using the TCP/IP 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."
