Setting Up Netcat for Secure Hacker Communications

Hackers as protrayed in movies by hollywood somtimes have som wierd kind of communication means.We normally see them just taking their laptops out of their bags , startup a black screen with some green text on it communicating with some other hacker through the terminal.This makes a lot of people fascinated wishing to do same but do not worry ,today is your lucky day.Today,we are going to setup our own communication channel for ourselves and friends usign a terminal based tool called Netcat.

Netcat is a simple networking tool that can be used for scanning for network vulnerabilities as well as servers.It can also neused to setup backdoors in a computer system. This tool is sometimes also used to transfer data and files between hackers. Today, we will deal with setting up a communication channel using the netcat tool.

1. First, you must have the netcat tool installed on your machine. Normally, it is automatically installed in Linux-based systems, but it has to be downloaded manually on Windows-based systems. Click here to download it for Windows. In addition, mobile phones must have Termux installed to run netcat effectively. Moreover, the netcat tool must be downloaded on any device that will be taking part in the communication process to ensure seamless connectivity and operation, facilitating robust network interactions and troubleshooting capabilities.
2. Open the netcat folder and then click in the address bar of windows explorer and type cmd to open the command prompt in the directory containing the netcat.exe.In linux, just open the terminal normally.
3. We are goinng to need one device to serve as the sever and so dedicate one of the devices to serve as the server and type this command; nc -lvp 1053 on linux systems and nc.exe -lvp 1053 on windows
4. \Replace the 1053 with and port number
5. Now the server is set up and so any device can connect to it and a communication channel will be opened.On the server,find the ip address by opening another command prompt and typing ifconfig
6. To connect with another device ,type nc ip_address of server port on linux and nc ip_address of server port on winndows.A channel has been established and any device connected can chat or type.
