Did You Know? netcat is a unix utility which reads and writes data across network connections, using TCP or UDP protocol. It's 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's a feature-rich network debugging and exploration tool, since it can create almost any kind of connection you would need and has several interesting built-in capabilities. Netcat, or "nc" as the actual program is named, should have been supplied long ago as another one of those cryptic but standard Unix tools.

1. Why donate money?

All information on Linuxconfig.org is free of cost and doesn't generate any type of direct income. linuxconfig.org is a private, non-profit project and is founded solely by advertising and donations.

2. How is the money used?

The money is used to satisfy the needs of web hosting, web development and maintenance. Your donation will also help us to continue creating a high quality content in regard to the Linux operating system and thus promoting it to new or existing users. Currently, the project is at the bleeding edge of what shared web hosting can offer and therefore, any money raised will be used to pay for more reliable and faster web hosting service.

3. How much should you give?

The donations we expect to receive vary from a two dollars* / euros to a couple of hundreds. Any amount in this range is highly appreciated as it helps this project to grow and produce exceptional content.

4. What would you get from the donation?

The only reward we can offer at this point is a good feeling, our thanks and as a sign of our appreciation donor's details will be displayed on our donors page. After your donation, you will be contacted via your PayPal nominated email address and asked whether you wish your details ( such as a company name, full name or even your website ) to be shown on our donors page.

* PayPal charges linuxconfig.org over 33c per transaction which is the reason why we encouridge you to donate 2 dollars / euros or more.
