NCAT(1) Ncat Reference Guide NCAT(1)
NAME
ncat - Concatenate and redirect sockets
SYNOPSIS
ncat [OPTIONS...] [hostname] [port]
DESCRIPTION
Ncat is a feature-packed networking utility which reads and writes data across networks from the command line. Ncat was written for the Nmap Project
and is the culmination of the currently splintered family of Netcat incarnations. It is designed to be a reliable back-end tool to instantly provide
network connectivity to other applications and users. Ncat will not only work with IPv4 and IPv6 but provides the user with a virtually limitless
number of potential uses.
Among Ncat's vast number of features there is the ability to chain Ncats together; redirection of TCP, UDP, and SCTP ports to other sites; SSL
support; and proxy connections via SOCKS4 or HTTP proxies (with optional proxy authentication as well). Some general principles apply to most
applications and thus give you the capability of instantly adding networking support to software that would normally never support it.

CONNECT MODE AND LISTEN MODE
Ncat operates in one of two primary modes: connect mode and listen mode. Other modes, such as the HTTP proxy server, act as special cases of these
two. In connect mode, Ncat works as a client. In listen mode it is a server.
In connect mode, the hostname and port arguments tell what to connect to. hostname is required, and may be a hostname or IP address. If port is
supplied, it must be a decimal port number. If omitted, it defaults to 31337.
In listen mode, hostname and port control the address the server will bind to. Both arguments are optional in listen mode. If hostname is omitted,
it defaults to listening on all available addresses over IPv4 and IPv6. If port is omitted, it defaults to 31337.
PROTOCOL OPTIONS
-4 (IPv4 only)
Force the use of IPv4 only.
-6 (IPv6 only)
Force the use of IPv6 only.
-U, --unixsock (Use Unix domain sockets)
Use Unix domain sockets rather than network sockets. This option may be used on its own for stream sockets, or combined with --udp for datagram
sockets. A description of -U mode is in the section called “UNIX DOMAIN SOCKETS”.
-u, --udp (Use UDP)
Use UDP for the connection (the default is TCP).
--sctp (Use SCTP)
Use SCTP for the connection (the default is TCP). SCTP support is implemented in TCP-compatible mode.
CONNECT MODE OPTIONS
-g hop1[,hop2,...] (Loose source routing)
Sets hops for IPv4 loose source routing. You can use -g once with a comma-separated list of hops, use -g multiple times with single hops to
build the list, or combine the two. Hops can be given as IP addresses or hostnames.
-G ptr (Set source routing pointer)
Sets the IPv4 source route “pointer” for use with -g. The argument must be a multiple of 4 and no more than 28. Not all operating systems
support setting this pointer to anything other than four.
-p port, --source-port port (Specify source port)
Set the port number for Ncat to bind to.
-s host, --source host (Specify source address)
Set the address for Ncat to bind to.
LISTEN MODE OPTIONS
See the section called “ACCESS CONTROL OPTIONS” for information on limiting the hosts that may connect to the listening Ncat process.
-l, --listen (Listen for connections)
Listen for connections rather than connecting to a remote machine
-m numconns, --max-conns numconns (Specify maximum number of connections)
The maximum number of simultaneous connections accepted by an Ncat instance. 100 is the default (60 on Windows).
-k, --keep-open (Accept multiple connections)
Normally a listening server accepts only one connection and then quits when the connection is closed. This option makes it accept multiple
simultaneous connections and wait for more connections after they have all been closed. It must be combined with --listen. In this mode there is
no way for Ncat to know when its network input is finished, so it will keep running until interrupted. This also means that it will never close
its output stream, so any program reading from Ncat and looking for end-of-file will also hang.
--broker (Connection brokering)
Allow multiple parties to connect to a centralised Ncat server and communicate with each other. Ncat can broker communication between systems
that are behind a NAT or otherwise unable to directly connect. This option is used in conjunction with --listen, which causes the --listen port
to have broker mode enabled.
--chat (Ad-hoc “chat server”)
The --chat option enables chat mode, intended for the exchange of text between several users. In chat mode, connection brokering is turned on.
Ncat prefixes each message received with an ID before relaying it to the other connections. The ID is unique for each connected client. This
helps distinguish who sent what. Additionally, non-printing characters such as control characters are escaped to keep them from doing damage to
a terminal.
SSL OPTIONS
--ssl (Use SSL)
In connect mode, this option transparently negotiates an SSL session with an SSL server to securely encrypt the connection. This is particularly
handy for talking to SSL enabled HTTP servers, etc.
In server mode, this option listens for incoming SSL connections, rather than plain untunneled traffic.
--ssl-verify (Verify server certificates)
In client mode, --ssl-verify is like --ssl except that it also requires verification of the server certificate. Ncat comes with a default set of
trusted certificates in the file ca-bundle.crt. Some operating systems provide a default list of trusted certificates; these will also be used
if available. Use --ssl-trustfile to give a custom list. Use -v one or more times to get details about verification failures. Ncat does not
check for revoked certificates.
This option has no effect in server mode.
--ssl-cert certfile.pem (Specify SSL certificate)
This option gives the location of a PEM-encoded certificate files used to authenticate the server (in listen mode) or the client (in connect
mode). Use it in combination with --ssl-key.
--ssl-key keyfile.pem (Specify SSL private key)
This option gives the location of the PEM-encoded private key file that goes with the certificate named with --ssl-cert.
--ssl-trustfile cert.pem (List trusted certificates)
This option sets a list of certificates that are trusted for purposes of certificate verification. It has no effect unless combined with
--ssl-verify. The argument to this option is the name of a PEM file containing trusted certificates. Typically, the file will contain
certificates of certification authorities, though it may also contain server certificates directly. When this option is used, Ncat does not use
its default certificates.
--ssl-ciphers cipherlist (Specify SSL ciphersuites)
This option sets the list of ciphersuites that Ncat will use when connecting to servers or when accepting SSL connections from clients. The
syntax is described in the OpenSSL ciphers(1) man page, and defaults to ALL:!ADH:!LOW:!EXP:!MD5:@STRENGTH
PROXY OPTIONS
--proxy host[:port] (Specify proxy address)
Requests proxying through host:port, using the protocol specified by --proxy-type.
If no port is specified, the proxy protocol's well-known port is used (1080 for SOCKS and 3128 for HTTP). However, when specifying an IPv6 HTTP
proxy server using the IP address rather than the hostname, the port number MUST be specified as well. If the proxy requires authentication, use
--proxy-auth.
--proxy-type proto (Specify proxy protocol)
In connect mode, this option requests the protocol proto to connect through the proxy host specified by --proxy. In listen mode, this option has
Ncat act as a proxy server using the specified protocol.
The currently available protocols in connect mode are http (CONNECT) and socks4 (SOCKSv4). The only server currently supported is http. If this
option is not used, the default protocol is http.
--proxy-auth user[:pass] (Specify proxy credentials)
In connect mode, gives the credentials that will be used to connect to the proxy server. In listen mode, gives the credentials that will be
required of connecting clients. For use with --proxy-type http, the form should be user:pass. For --proxy-type socks4, it should be a username
only.
COMMAND EXECUTION OPTIONS
-e command, --exec command (Execute command)
Execute the specified command after a connection has been established. The command must be specified as a full pathname. All input from the
remote client will be sent to the application and responses sent back to the remote client over the socket, thus making your command-line
application interactive over a socket. Combined with --keep-open, Ncat will handle multiple simultaneous connections to your specified
port/application like inetd. Ncat will only accept a maximum, definable, number of simultaneous connections controlled by the -m option. By
default this is set to 100 (60 on Windows).
-c command, --sh-exec command (Execute command via sh)
Same as -e, except it tries to execute the command via /bin/sh. This means you don't have to specify the full path for the command, and shell
facilities like environment variables are available.
--lua-exec file (Execute a .lua script)
Runs the specified file as a Lua script after a connection has been established, using a built-in interpreter. Both the script's standard input
and the standard output are redirected to the connection data streams.
All exec options add the following variables to the child's environment:
NCAT_REMOTE_ADDR, NCAT_REMOTE_PORT
The IP address and port number of the remote host. In connect mode, it's the target's address; in listen mode, it's the client's address.
NCAT_LOCAL_ADDR, NCAT_LOCAL_PORT
The IP address and port number of the local end of the connection.
NCAT_PROTO
The protocol in use: one of TCP, UDP, and SCTP.
ACCESS CONTROL OPTIONS
--allow host[,host,...] (Allow connections)
The list of hosts specified will be the only hosts allowed to connect to the Ncat process. All other connection attempts will be disconnected.
In case of a conflict between --allow and --deny, --allow takes precedence. Host specifications follow the same syntax used by Nmap.
--allowfile file (Allow connections from file)
This has the same functionality as --allow, except that the allowed hosts are provided in a new-line delimited allow file, rather than directly
on the command line.
--deny host[,host,...] (Deny connections)
Issue Ncat with a list of hosts that will not be allowed to connect to the listening Ncat process. Specified hosts will have their session
silently terminated if they try to connect. In case of a conflict between --allow and --deny, --allow takes precedence. Host specifications
follow the same syntax used by Nmap.
--denyfile file (Deny connections from file)
This is the same functionality as --deny, except that excluded hosts are provided in a new-line delimited deny file, rather than directly on the
command line.
TIMING OPTIONS
These options accept a time parameter. This is specified in seconds by default, though you can append ms, s, m, or h to the value to specify
milliseconds, seconds, minutes, or hours.
-d time, --delay time (Specify line delay)
Set the delay interval for lines sent. This effectively limits the number of lines that Ncat will send in the specified period. This may be
useful for low-bandwidth sites, or have other uses such as coping with annoying iptables --limit options.
-i time, --idle-timeout time (Specify idle timeout)
Set a fixed timeout for idle connections. If the idle timeout is reached, the connection is terminated.
-w time, --wait time (Specify connect timeout)
Set a fixed timeout for connection attempts.
OUTPUT OPTIONS
-o file, --output file (Save session data)
Dump session data to a file
-x file, --hex-dump file (Save session data in hex)
Dump session data in hex to a file.
--append-output (Append output)
Issue Ncat with --append-ouput along with -o and/or -x and it will append the resulted output rather than truncating the specified output files.
-v, --verbose (Be verbose)
Issue Ncat with -v and it will be verbose and display all kinds of useful connection based information. Use more than once (-vv, -vvv...) for
greater verbosity.
MISC OPTIONS
-C, --crlf (Use CRLF as EOL)
This option tells Ncat to convert LF line endings to CRLF when taking input from standard input. This is useful for talking to some stringent
servers directly from a terminal in one of the many common plain-text protocols that use CRLF for end-of-line.
-h, --help (Help screen)
Displays a short help screen with common options and parameters, and then exits.
--recv-only (Only receive data)
If this option is passed, Ncat will only receive data and will not try to send anything.
--send-only (Only send data)
If this option is passed, then Ncat will only send data and will ignore anything received. This option also causes Ncat to close the network
connection and terminate after EOF is received on standard input.
--no-shutdown (Do not shutdown into half-duplex mode)
If this option is passed, Ncat will not invoke shutdown on a socket aftering seeing EOF on stdin. This is provided for backward-compatibility
with OpenBSD netcat, which exhibits this behavior when executed with its '-d' option.
-t, --telnet (Answer Telnet negotiations)
Handle DO/DONT WILL/WONT Telnet negotiations. This makes it possible to script Telnet sessions with Ncat.
--version (Display version)
Displays the Ncat version number and exits.
UNIX DOMAIN SOCKETS
The -U option (same as --unixsock) causes Ncat to use Unix domain sockets rather than network sockets. Unix domain sockets exist as an entry in the
filesystem. You must give the name of a socket to connect to or to listen on. For example, to make a connection,
ncat -U ~/unixsock
To listen on a socket:
ncat -l -U ~/unixsock
Listen mode will create the socket if it doesn't exist. The socket will continue to exist after the program ends.
Both stream and datagram domain sockets are supported. Use -U on its own for stream sockets, or combine it with --udp for datagram sockets. Datagram
sockets require a source socket to connect from. By default, a source socket with a random filename will be created as needed, and deleted when the
program ends. Use the --source with a path to use a source socket with a specific name.
EXAMPLES
Connect to example.org on TCP port 8080.
ncat example.org 8080
Listen for connections on TCP port 8080.
ncat -l 8080
Redirect TCP port 8080 on the local machine to host on port 80.
ncat --sh-exec "ncat example.org 80" -l 8080 --keep-open
Bind to TCP port 8081 and attach /bin/bash for the world to access freely.
ncat --exec "/bin/bash" -l 8081 --keep-open
Bind a shell to TCP port 8081, limit access to hosts on a local network, and limit the maximum number of simultaneous connections to 3.
ncat --exec "/bin/bash" --max-conns 3 --allow 192.168.0.0/24 -l 8081 --keep-open
Connect to smtphost:25 through a SOCKS4 server on port 1080.
ncat --proxy socks4host --proxy-type socks4 --proxy-auth user smtphost 25
Create an HTTP proxy server on localhost port 8888.
ncat -l --proxy-type http localhost 8888
Send a file over TCP port 9899 from host2 (client) to host1 (server).
HOST1$ ncat -l 9899 > outputfile
HOST2$ ncat HOST1 9899 < inputfile
Transfer in the other direction, turning Ncat into a “one file” server.
HOST1$ ncat -l 9899 < inputfile
HOST2$ ncat HOST1 9899 > outputfile
EXIT CODE
The exit code reflects whether a connection was made and completed successfully. 0 means there was no error. 1 means there was a network error of
some kind, for example “Connection refused” or “Connection reset”. 2 is reserved for all other errors, like an invalid option or a nonexistent file.
BUGS
Like its authors, Ncat isn't perfect. But you can help make it better by sending bug reports or even writing patches. If Ncat doesn't behave the way
you expect, first upgrade to the latest version available from https://nmap.org. If the problem persists, do some research to determine whether it
has already been discovered and addressed. Try Googling the error message or browsing the nmap-dev archives at http://seclists.org/. Read this full
manual page as well. If nothing comes of this, mail a bug report to <dev@nmap.org>. Please include everything you have learned about the problem, as
well as what version of Ncat you are running and what operating system version it is running on. Problem reports and Ncat usage questions sent to
dev@nmap.org are far more likely to be answered than those sent to Fyodor directly.
Code patches to fix bugs are even better than bug reports. Basic instructions for creating patch files with your changes are available at
https://svn.nmap.org/nmap/HACKING. Patches may be sent to nmap-dev (recommended) or to Fyodor directly.
