+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.
