    I’m a sysadmin at a small shop and it amazes me how many of my coworkers don’t know about or don’t use netcat. Netcat, s_client, and nmap are super useful for quickly narrowing down the cause of a problem. I have been guilty of using nc to transfer files before, it’s a good trick to know about in a pinch and where you aren’t worried about the lack of encryption.

    Sidenote, it could just be my Lemmy client but this post doesn’t seem to actually contain a link to the article.

      I fully agree. Those tools are so useful! - But, not too familiar with s_client - will look it up.

      Thank you for letting me know. It seems that adding a separate image removes the URL to the article. Interesting and might be a bug.
