The following packages have been uploaded to the Cygwin distribution:
* netcat-1.219-2
This package replaces the old "nc" and "nc6" packages. The tool is
still called "nc", the build system is now based on the "netcat" package
from the Fedora Linux distro.
The OpenBSD nc (or netcat) utility can be used for just about anything involving
TCP, UDP, or UNIX-domain sockets. It can open TCP connections, send UDP packets,
listen on arbitrary TCP and UDP ports, do port scanning, and deal with both IPv4
and IPv6. Unlike telnet(1), nc scripts nicely, and separates error messages onto
standard error instead of sending them to standard output, as telnet(1) might do
with some.

Just FYI, nc is detected and quarantined by Windows' built-in AV as
a "hacking tool" (at least as of November 2022).
