A multiplatform version of netcat written in Rust
Netcat (often abbreviated to nc) is a computer networking utility for reading from and writing to network connections using TCP or UDP. (Wikipedia)
Since you'll have to build the program, you'll need the Rust toolchain. You can download and install it here.
Once rustup is installed on your machine, you can run the following command:
cargo install --git https://github.com/eppeque/netcatThis command will download the source code, build the program and make it runnable everywhere on your computer.
You can also directly download the compiled binary available in the Release section of this repository.
Use the program as follows:
netcat <IP_ADDR> <PORT_NUM>Enjoy!
