$ ncat -lk ${port}
try on your machine
The command "ncat -lk ${port}" is used to start a netcat listener on a specific port on a system.
Here is the breakdown of the command:
- "ncat" is the name of the utility used to establish and manage network connections.
- "-lk" is a set of options passed to the ncat command:
- "-l" tells ncat to listen for incoming connections.
- "-k" instructs ncat to keep listening for new connections even after a client disconnects.
- "${port}" is a placeholder for the port number on which the listener should be initiated. You need to replace "${port}" with an actual numerical value representing the desired port.
In summary, this command sets up a netcat listener that will continuously listen for incoming connections on the specified port.
