Netcat has been dubbed the network swiss army knife. It is a simple Unix utility which reads and writes data across network connections, using TCP or UDP 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 Power Tools collection and comes standard on SuSE Linux, Debian Linux, NetBSD and OpenBSD distributions.

GSecur that netcat is wierd evry time I try to type somthing it turns of It is probably because I have windows xp ? can u help me

[Dillinja]

Ilya,
What it seems like your doing is opening netcat straight from the downloaded application window. If you type in a incorrect command, it will close itself.

Sooooooo.....get your trusty MS-DOS command line out and open netcat from there!
Im not using XP, but from what I know, go to START/RUN and type CMD.
You should see a black screen with something like:
C:\WINDOWS\Desktop>
Then, open your netcat directory (whereever you installed it). Its default dir name is "nc11nt".
You should now see C:\WINDOWS\(whatever directory)\nc11nt>
Type "nc" and voila...theres your netcat command line!

But seriously, its all in the readme.txt!
You gotta be able to walk before you can run, perhaps a little more research into the basics before using a tool like netcat?
Just my opinion

is netcat 1.1 the newest version

[Blake]

I believe it is the latest for windows. The Linux version may be a rev higher neo, so you may have to check the homepage I listed.

[x-zero]

one more thing can u give me a specific site here I can get a good netcat tutorial for win xp thanks

[silos]

Ilya, yeah XP can be awkward with command line progs. What i do is drag or copy the little white DOS box for netcat to the desktop, then open command prompt [CMD] and just type nc - CMD line should then come up and your ready to go.
You could also try CRYPTCAT which is just Netcat with encryption.
Also a nice little prog for XP is 'Shelltoys XP' so you only have to right click to get command prompt and many other options.
