pwncat documentation¶
pwncat is a fully compatible netcat fork written in Python with many more aggressive network features on top.
It comes with a Python Scripting Engine (PSE) that allows you to manipulate incoming and outgoing traffic to your needs. This can reach from wrapping current TCP/UDP traffic into higher protocols such as HTTP, FTP, Telnet, etc or even go to encrypting and decrypting your traffic.
Besides regular netcat features like full IPv4, IPv6 and UDP/TCP, IP ToS, port scanning, server/client, bind- and reverse shells, it also comes with pivoting features, ssh-less local and remote port-forwarding, port-hopping, target self-injection and many more.
