Install Netcat on CentOS 8 / RHEL 8
In this article, I’m going to show how to install netcat on RHEL/CentOS 8. Let’s get started:
Table of Contents
Installation
The nmap
package contains the ncat
package. If we install nmap, the ncat will be installed.
Install nmap using the command:
sudo dnf install nmap
Verification
Run this command to check ncat
successfully installed or not:
ncat --version
You’ll see output like:
Ncat: Version 7.91 ( https://nmap.org/ncat )
Usage
Reverse shell listener with Netcat:
ncat -lvnp 13629
I’ll try to show more usage later.
That’s it. Thanks for reading.
