I suppose so. cryptcat makes then sense, when you use it as a
server. With *netcat*, you can use it as a server:
nc -l -p $port
This way, you can pipe any content to the net:
ls -la | nc -l -p 4711
You can then use netcat on a different system ("client system")
to connect to this port and pipe the output to somewhere else:
nc $host $port
like so:
nc $host 4711 > /tmp/ls.txt
Now you might want to encrypt the content. And that's where
cryptcat might be handy.
