SecurityDocs: Comment on NetCat Tutorial
Netcat 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, or "nc" as the actual program is named, should have been supplied long ago as another one of those cryptic but standard Unix tools.
Netcat’s homepage is: http://netcat.sourceforge.net
The official Netcat homepage makes no reference to Windows systems, however you can find a Win32 copy at

Hello! I agree. It should be standard. These days, it usually is, but I have come across a few unixes and linuxes that have not included it by default, which can be very frustrating. I wrote a little article about netcat, http://elijahr.blogspot.com/2008/04/what-is-netcat-from-official-gnu-page.html where I outline a few of the neat things one can do with it. Cheers.
