It provides outbound and inbound connections, TCP or UDP, to or from any ports, tunneling modes, port-scanning capabilities, advanced usage options, and optional RFC854 telnet codes parser and responder. Distributed freely under the GNU General Public License (GPL), it aims for full compatibility with the original nc 1.10 and portability.
