+GNU Netcat is a featured networking utility which reads and writes data
+across network connections, using the TCP/IP 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.
