Named NetCAT, this is a vulnerability in all Intel chips that support the Data-Direct I/O Technology (Intel DDIO) and Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) features. When these two features are enabled, ...

A weakness named NetCAT (Network Cache ATtack) affects all Intel server-grade processors since 2012 and allows sniffing sensitive details by mounting a side-channel attack over the network.

Netcat lets you read from and write to network connections using TCP or UDP, enabling simple tasks like checking if a specific port on a computer is open and reachable (port scanning), transferring ...

Researchers have found yet another CPU feature that can be abused to leak potentially sensitive data, but this time with a twist: The attacker doesn’t need to have local access on the targeted machine ...

A new attack on Intel server-grade CPUs could allow the leakage of SSH passwords – but luckily it’s not easy to exploit. Researchers have identified a new side-channel attack impacting all modern ...

Often referred to as the "Swiss Army Knife of networking," netcat is a tool that administrators can use to read and write TCP or UDP data across the network. In addition, it's extremely useful for ...

A new side-channel vulnerability it out, but this one comes with a twist: Rather than exploiting weaknesses in speculative execution routines within the CPU, the vulnerability — named NetCAT by the ...

Security researchers have discovered a new chip-level vulnerability, dubbed NetCAT, affecting Intel's server-grade microprocessors, which could enable attackers to sniff potentially sensitive data ...

Unix command-line utility netcat gets called the "network swiss army knife" with good reason. Like the best UNIX utilities, it's very simple but can perform all sorts of useful tasks. It's also ...

Is it possible to send an email from a host that has no email client software installed? As long as you have netcat, of course it is! Netcat (/usr/bin/nc on Red Hat Enterprise Linux systems) is a ...
