cryptcat: [l]isten on a specified [p]ort and print any data received.
$ cryptcat -k ${password} -l -p ${port}
try on your machine
The command "cryptcat -k ${password} -l -p ${port}" is used to create a secure network connection between two computers using encryption.
Here is a breakdown of the command:
- "cryptcat" is the name of the command used to initiate the secure connection.
- "-k ${password}" is an option that specifies the encryption password. The "${password}" part is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual password you want to use for encryption.
- "-l" is an option that tells cryptcat to listen for incoming connections on the specified port.
- "-p ${port}" is an option that specifies the port number to use for the connection. The "${port}" part is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual port number you want to use.
So, when you run this command, cryptcat will start listening for incoming encrypted connections on the specified port, using the provided password for encryption.
