Ncat AUTHORS ============ Ncat is based in concept (but not code) on the original "Netcat" written by Hobbit circa 1994. Ncat combines the original Netcat feature set as well as various other ideas from other Netcat-like products, such as CryptCat, Socat, GNU Netcat, etc. Ncat was originally written from the ground up by Chris Gibson (chris@linuxops.net) and was funded by the Google Summer of Code Program 2005. Development, bug fixes, security auditing, improvements by Sean (infamous42md@hotpop.com). Starting with the Google Summer of Code 2008, Ncat development was picked back up by Mixter and Kris Katterjohn. This included many bug fixes, new features and code cleanups. The Ncat requirements, ideas and general support and help were given by Fyodor. Many helpful comments, suggestions and other useful information was taken from the nmap-dev list (@insecure.org) as well as other contributors via email. Ncat shares the Nmap infrastructure libraries (Nsock and Nbase) which were originally written by Fyodor.
