netcat
A Simple But Powerful Network Tool
Netcat is a simple Unix utility that reads and writes data across network connections using TCP or UDP protocols. It is designed to be a reliable back-end tool that can be used directly or easily driven by other programs and scripts. At the same time, it is a feature-rich network debugging and exploration tool, because it can create almost any kind of connection you may need and has several interesting built-in capabilities.
