Hi Semme


Thanks for your response yha what i want to do is to connect to my other computer with netcat the version nc-1.10. from my ppm

[Semme]

Yeah but, once connected whaddaya wanna do?

[Semme]

Can you connect to your own box? Do you know how to connect to your own box?

Gotta say, this is one happening utility. It's soo many things all @ the same time.

WOW! It's really ....

PS - Who's running the account on the box you're trying to connect with?

And so we're on the same page.. Does your copy pass this usage help?

Code: Select all

nc [-46DdhklnrStUuvzC] [-i interval] [-P proxy_username] [-p source_port]
	[-s source_ip_address] [-T ToS] [-w timeout] [-X proxy_protocol]
	[-x proxy_address[:port]] [hostname] [port[s]]

Hi

This is the output of the script. what do i wanna do pass files or chat:

[Semme]

One question answered outta four asked ain't too good Dale. Do you understand how netcat works? Someone's a server, or listener, and someone's a client.. And I'm guess'in you're not comfortable enough to be doing chat without a gui.

Here, watch this (plug included), then search >> "how to chat using netcat" and read-up.

When you're ready for the next round, me or someone else'll be waiting..

PS - Netcat doesn't have a username.

Thanks a lot Semme i did see Darren on hak5 version of netcat, I found that if i port scan with netcat i get different results than with nmap. i will play around for a while and learn i little more.That first question i asked has an answer it was my router blocking. So thanks once again and ill post any other questions later
