Then run rinetd -c nf The software has other useful features like logging, allow and deny rules and so on and it comes with source code :-). To run it, create a configuration file (lets say "nf") with the following content (to get the equivalent result to the netcat version): 0.0.0.0 Then a little searching turned up this blog post from 2004: Port redirection in Windows and two tool recomendations: stunnel for tunneling TCP streams over SSL (I didn't try this, but probably is useful when you can't use SSH - you don't have a SSH account or a SSH server on one or both of the machines) and rinetd. However this didn't seem to work, and netcat kept erroring out on me with "invalid connection". (In this context 0.0.0.0 means to listen on all the interfaces, because Netcat defaults to the safe thing to do and listens only on the localhost interface - of course if you have a multi-home situation you can put a given interface there to listen only on that) Hackers often use the Netcat parameter -d in the code, which allows the command prompt tool to cause trouble on Windows computers while running. My first idea was to chain two Netcat instances together like this: nc -L -p -e "nc.exe " 0.0.0.0 However I needed a low-latency link with no encryption or compression (because the protocol running over it was encrypted and double-encryption just slows things down without any substantial benefit in this case).
