Netcat through Terminal

Installing NMAP to run via Terminal

Let me start now by saying, if you dont know what Netcat is, you shouldn't bother going any further. If you do, then I hold no liability on how you use the following information.



Netcat has been said to be the "Swiss Army Knife" of networking tools. Ergo, as a network/tech, I have used this Program for a long time.


You can read up on Netcat and research this tool before use at its home page @
http://netcat.sourceforge.net/

If you need to root your device, please visit http://nookdevs.com/NookColor_Rooting for the walk through process.

Following that you will want to install Superuser and su by following the steps found at http://nookdevs.com/NookColor_Instal..._Superuser_app


You can download the file as well on your own from
http://sourceforge.net/projects/netc...ar.gz/download


However, I have taken the time to unpackage the Tarbal and GZ to make it easier for this process.

Netcat files: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=S4K9QC60

First thing is of course unzip the folder. This install, compared to my last post regarding NMAP, will be slightly different. Once unzipped, there will be the primary folder holding all the files. Open your CMD/term, and run the ADB push command. For example, if the file is on my desktop, i will run

adb shell
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system
exit
adb push C:\Users\User\Desktop\netcat\netcat /system/bin

This will copy all the files within the netcat folder.


Old netcat users who used it when the syntax started with the command "netcat" will notice a difference in this revision. Now to run the commands, you simply use "nc".

To access the man page, type in nc -h and hit enter. If you installed the files correctly, you will get the following results.

I still don't see the point of netcat on a tablet... I guess people use netcat for random weird things.

Hey I have been missing with around with terminal and all that on my ipod. I installed netcat and I looked around and saw that it could be used like a chat, but whenever I tried the code that they used it did not work for me. Can you help me? What am i suppose to use for the code?

NetCat for app invertor

---

Hello

I just saw this tread and was thinking that the app inventor community ( including me ) has been looking for a TCP/UDP API ti send and receive data via tcp and udp is there a way to interface Netcat via appinventor so we can communicate with Ethernet enabled devices using this tool.

Thanks in advance
