about netcat...what exactly i need to do, to use it on windows ?
i cant get it working ...
do i need cygwin or mingw or something like that ? i tried the ./install and things like that but got a big mess and nothing else. it gave me lot of error.

you need only to use nc.exe, no install or other things

Examples:
nc -h
nc -l -p 80 -v -v -n
nc 127.0.0.1 80 -v -v -n
nc 127.0.0.1 80 -p 81 -v -v -n

ok the problem is .. there is no .exe lol.
maybe you can help me out and give direct link if the one im using is wrong.
http://netcat.sourceforge.net/

theres also the .rpm format which i cant unpack atm since my cygwin just fucked up :S ..i have no idea how but it doesnt work anymore (reinstalling atm)

update - it seems that i cant unpack/install the .rpm and it seems to be only one that is not the source code there. does it mean i still have to compile it ?

Use the one on vulnwatch.org or just search nc111nt.zip
That one on sourceforge is source code only so you must compile it manually using cygwin since Windows is not supported natively... the original netcat anyway it's better

it was my firewall that screwed with it .. works fine now, thanks.
anyways ... can i get some command list somehow ?

aluigi · **Posted:** 23 Jan 2008 15:18

nc -h

usually the command-line programs show the list of commands in the following ways:
- no arguments (like my tools)
- program -h
- program /? (used moreover in old windows/dos programs)
- program /h (as above)
- program --help (usually on linux programs)
- program -help
and so on

ok that was very dumb question actually ... dont know what got into me while posting lol.
I knew all those (exept -h), but didnt even try. ..well i did nc.exe only (no arguments), and it wanted ''cmd line''.
thanks anyways :)

OMFG i know what is a cmd based program and how to run them.
been using cmd for like 10 years.
problem was not cmd .. problem was that i didnt even found the damn .exe ...didnt had it and the other versions i downloaded .. had it but my firewall said its virus and blocked access and i kind a missed tht part (part where it got blocked).
