Gnu NetCat http://netcat.sourceforge.net/ Local source mirror ftp://ftp2.jetstreamgames/gentoo/distfiles/netcat-0.7.1.tar.bz2 I have built this one and I use it. It works. Note that it's different from the original L0pht original.
Then there is another one created by an Australian by the name of Mark Pulford http://www.kyne.com.au/~mark/software/ncat.php http://www.kyne.com.au/~mark/software/ncat-1.0.1.tar.gz I have not used this one. I merely know of its existence, but it's probably well worth trying. I have used another of the author's tools successfully. The Original L0pht NetCat:- http://www.atstake.com/research/tools/network_utilities/ http://www.atstake.com/research/tools/network_utilities/nc110.tgz Local mirror:- ftp://ftp2.jetstreamgames.co.nz/gentoo/distfiles/nc110.tgz This is a 'Swiss Army Knife for the Internet". It's a real double edged sword too. There are lots of patches for it around, e.g.:- ftp://ftp2.jetstreamgames.co.nz/gentoo/distfiles/nc-v6-20000918.patch.gz ftp://ftp2.jetstreamgames.co.nz/gentoo/distfiles/netcat-110-r6-gentoo-deb-patches.tbz2 I have used this one with both the patches applied. It worked for me, but not under any difficult conditions, i.e. just moving files across the local lan. Have Fun, hth. -- Sincerely etc., Christopher Sawtell
