Ncat.rb

Simple Ncat.rb

I found this simple ncat so I did some enhancements on it and add some comments in it as well.

  def green; colorize(self, "\e[1m\e[32m"); end
  def cyan; colorize(self, "\e[1;36m"); end
  def bold; colorize(self, "\e[1m"); end

• To listen

  ruby ncat.rb -lvp 443

• To connect

  ruby ncat.rb -cv -r RHOST -p 443

Another Implementation of Ncat.rb

Again from Hood3dRob1n a standalone [RubyCat][3] which supports password protection for bind shell.
