Netcat is an old and venerable Unix hacker tool. If you want to be a better hacker the netcat README is required reading. I would also recommend reading the source code, in particular the comments. Hobbit can be quite funny at times.

Netcat is usually installed on linux systems these days, but it is seldom compiled with -DGAPING_SECURITY_HOLE like it should be. Those really were the good old days...
