    DMZ ThresherŪ
    DMZ HarvesterŪ Cryptcat is the standard netcat enhanced with twofish
    File BalerŪ    encryption.
    FIRSTŪ
                   Twofish is courtesy of counterpane, and cryptix. We started
Application        with the Java version of twofish from cryptix, converted it to
Services           C++ (don't ask why), and enhanced it by adding CBC mode and
    DMZ Prevention the ciphertext stealing technique from Applied Cryptography
                   (pg. 196)
    DMZ Detection
    Secure File    How do you use it?
Transfer
                   Machine A: cryptcat -l -p 1234 < testfile
Professional       Machine B: cryptcat <machine A IP> 1234
Services
    Internal Audit This is identical to the normal netcat options for doing
                   exactly the same thing. However, in this case the data
    External Audit transferred is encrypted.

Response
    Security       Windows version -- adapted from the Hobbit original by Weld
Seminars           Pond, very tricky! (and I thought adding twofish was tricky)

Free Security      Linux version -- why I like Linux... only had to change two
Tools              lines of code to add encryption.
