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.
Step 1 :
sudo -sH
cd /opt
wget http://garr.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/netcat/netcat-0.7.1.tar.gz
tar -xvzf netcat-0.7.1.tar.gz
rm netcat-0.7.1.tar.gz
cd /opt/netcat-0.7.1
./configure
make
cd /opt
mkdir /opt/netcat
cp /opt/netcat-0.7.1/src/netcat /opt/netcat/
rm -R netcat-0.7.1/
Step 2 :
To run it.
sudo -sH
cd /opt/netcat
./netcat -h
Remarks :
Please do not delete the built-in netcat-openbsd as it will also delete the ubuntu-mininal package at the same time. Your compiled netcat is different to the built-in one.
That's all! See you.
