Help with Netcat
Hi all,

I know my question is regarding Windows and not Linux, but I simply need people who know Netcat pretty well and I'm guessing here is a good place for that. So on with my question.

I'm doing some research, and I was playing around with netcat on a WinXP VM but I can't seem to get something.

I tried this command:

nc -l -p 80 -e "c:\notepad.exe"
(I copied notepad.exe to c:\ folder)

But what happens is simply that netcat closes and does nothing. It does connect, because if I leave the command without the "-e" parameter like this:

nc -l -p 80

It does show me an output. But when I add the "-e" and any program (I tried cmd, and others) - nothing will execute, and netcat simply shuts down.

Any ideas?
Thanks,
Jonathan

";

       Returns the domain name.  In dynamic update packets, this field is known as "zname" and refers to the zone name.

       qtype, ztype

	   print "qtype = ", $question->qtype, "
";
	   print "ztype = ", $question->ztype, "
";

       Returns the record type.  In dymamic update packets, this field is known as "ztype" and refers to the zone type (must be SOA).

";
	   print "zclass = ", $question->zclass, "

       data

       Returns the question record in binary format suitable for inclusion in a DNS packet.

       Arguments are a "Net::DNS::Packet" object and the offset within that packet's data where the "Net::DNS::Question" record is to be stored.
       This information is necessary for using compressed domain names.
