A new take on netcat, written in Rust.
A
netkitten aims to improve on the usability and discoverability of netcat by using subcommands to separate out the core functionalities.
To see the basic options:
❯ nk help
netkitten 0.1.0
USAGE:
nk <SUBCOMMAND>
FLAGS:
-h, --help Prints help information
-V, --version Prints version information
SUBCOMMANDS:
connect
help Prints this message or the help of the given subcommand(s)
listen
scan
(You'll just have to settle with a redirect response, until TLS is implemented).
❯ nk connect rust-lang.org 80
GET / HTTP/1.1
Host: rust-lang.org
Everything entering stdin on the listener will be sent to all connected clients.
❯ nk listen -k localhost 9999
❯ nk listen localhost 9999 | ncat connect google.com 80
This is an early-stage project, but it aims to add many of the features of netcat and ncat.
- Basic TCP client and server
- Concurrent listener
- Pipelining
- Port Scanning
- Service detection
- TLS
- UDP
- Command execution
