Netcat GUI 13 — Verified
Security Considerations for Verified Version 13
Even a verified GUI cannot protect against user error. Follow these rules:
- Never run as administrator unless testing privileged ports (<1024).
- Disable "auto-reply" when connecting to unknown hosts—it may trigger exploits.
- Use SSL mode (version 13 includes stunnel integration) for production data.
- Whitelist the executable in your antivirus; otherwise, heuristics may flag any netcat variant.
