Re: [DLC]Netcat and SSH

Sorry. My thoughts weren't articulated very concretely in my previous email...

I was reading around saw that if you could connect to a web server and
request a page with netcat. For example, the following command would
receive a reply with the http header and html page of depaul's
website.

echo -e "GET / HTTP/1.1\nHost:depaul.edu\n\n" | nc depaul.edu 80

I was wondering if you could use netcat as a general purpose client
application as long as you piped the correct header/protocol/packet
information to it. For example could I pipe netcat some data to place
in a datagram, contact a server on udp 53, and receive a dns answer?

I don't know how the keys would be handled.
