Netcat
TCP/IP Swiss Army Knife - we will use this tool alot
Can scan ports but can also be used for:
chatting between two computers
banner grabbing
file transfer
for shell
Traffic is not encrypted ( unless you use ncat)
Banner Grabbing
it will connect nc to google server if port 80 is open and then we can query it manually for example
after connecting , we can use http parameters like GET, HEAD, OPTIONS etc to send the request and server will return the response
Netcat without -e flag
