Netcat with Ouroboros support.
Modified from the GNU netcat project:
http://netcat.sourceforge.net/
This version requires Ouroboros to be installed:
https://ouroboros.rocks
Ouroboros-netcat instructions:
Clone the repo (somewhere):
git clone https://github.com:dstaesse/netcat
cd netcat
To compile this Ouroboros version:
LIBS=-louroboros-dev ./configure
Or, to enable debugging output (the netcat -d flag):
LIBS=-louroboros-dev ./configure --enable-debug=yes
And give it a simple "make" command:
make
Ouroboros support is toggled with the -O flag.
To start netcat in Ouroboros listen mode (assuming you are in the src/ folder):
./netcat -Ol
To send some data to the netcat instance:
./netcat -Oc <name>
Brief example over the "local" IPCP (you may need up to 3 terminal windows).
#start the irmd
sudo irmd --stdout
#create a "local" IPCP.
irm ipcp bootstrap type local name local layer local
# register the netcat name in the local layer
irm register name nc layer local (Ouroboros version < 0.17)
irm name register nc layer local (be branch / upcoming version 0.17)
# bind the netcat program to <name>
irm bind prog ./netcat
# start an Ouroboros listen server (with some verbosity)
./netcat -Ovvl
# and from another terminal, send it a couple of bytes:
echo "Here's Johnny!" | ./netcat -Oc nc
# if all went well, you should see the following output on the server side
[dstaesse@heteropoda src]$ ./netcat -Ovvl
Flow received (new fd=64)
Here's Johnny!
^CExiting.
Total received bytes: 15
Total sent bytes: 0
# Stay curious.

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.
This file will be written soon or late...
