nc - Netcat for Android

Werebug

About this app

This application is a simple wrapper around the ncat binary cross-compiled for Android from the Nmap source. This is not an official Nmap application.

Ncat is a powerful networking tool, it allows you to perform a variety of operations, such as (and absolutely not limited to):

- Open TCP connections
- Listen on TCP ports
- Send UDP datagrams
- Receive UDP datagrams
- Execute system commands and redirect IO to sockets.

If you have never used nc, ncat (or any other netcat implementation before), chances are you don't need this app, but to give you an idea, using the above examples you can remotely control your phone from your computer and remotely control your computer from your phone if you know what you are doing.

The options offered by ncat are too many for me to test all of them. If you encounter any bug while using the app, please open an issue on Github.

Source code for this application is available here: https://github.com/ruvolof/nc-for-android.

Ratings and reviews

It autoscrolls to the top when new messages come in (at the bottom) otherwise it works as expected. Edit: I have changed my score from 2 to 4 since the bug i encountered seems to be nonreproducable. I will take the time to attempt to try to figure out the cause and then come back and update this later.

Amazing app 👏. It's very well done and just perfect if needing an nc listener

I'm sure this works fine but a guide or video tutorial would be awesome
