Name : nc Product : Fedora 15 Version : 1.100 Release : 1.fc15 URL : http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/usr.bin/nc/ Summary : Reads and writes data across network connections using TCP or UDP Description : The nc package contains Netcat (the program is actually nc), a simple utility for reading and writing data across network connections, using the TCP or UDP protocols. Netcat is intended to be a reliable back-end tool which can be used directly or easily driven by other programs and scripts. Netcat is also a feature-rich network debugging and exploration tool, since it can create many different connections and has many built-in capabilities. You may want to install the netcat package if you are administering a network and you'd like to use its debugging and network exploration capabilities. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: New version of netcat, nc 1.100, is available. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [ 1 ] Bug #691420 - netcat is a bit stale https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=691420 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program.
