<p>
 just start nc in server mode on localhost:
 <br/>
 <br/>
 [sourcecode language='python'] nc -l -p 3333 [/sourcecode]
 <br/>
 <br/>
 send a string to localhost on port 3333:
 <br/>
 <br/>
 [sourcecode language='python'] echo "hello world" | nc localhost 3333 [/sourcecode]
 <br/>
 <br/>
 you'll see on server side appearing the string you sent.
 <br/>
 <br/>
 very useful for sending binaries, see
