# IOScat - a Port of Netcat to Cisco IOS

A porting of famous [netcat](http://netcat.sourceforge.net/) to [Cisco](http://www.cisco.com/) IOS router operating system: [IOSCat](http://www.sans.org/reading_room/whitepapers/tools/ioscat-port-netcats-tcp-functions-cisco-ios_33109)

The only main limit is that it does not support UDP, but that’s a **very cool** tool!

A very good txt to read is [Netcat hacker Manual](http://homepage.mac.com/adonismac/Textware/netcat_commands.pdf).
