nc - TCP/IP swiss army knife

!!! DESCRIPTION
__netcat__ is a simple unix utility which reads and writes data across network connections, using TCP or UDP protocol. 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. Netcat, or "nc" as the actual program is named, should have been supplied long ago as another one of those cryptic but standard Unix tools.

Some port names in __/etc/services__ contain hyphens -- netcat currently will not correctly parse those, so specify ranges using numbers if you can.
