You could try using Remote.exe that comes with the NT4 resource kit instead of netcat. I'm not sure if it encrypts the data or not, but you do need to know a unique identifier to start the session. You could just make the ID a very long a complex string. I've had good results with it behind a firewall, but wouldn't recommend using it over the Internet. (That's what VPNs are for.)
