FreeBSD net : cryptcat

Standard netcat enhanced with twofish encryption

 Cryptcat is the standard netcat enhanced with twofish encryption. 

Twofish is courtesy of counterpane, and cryptix. We started with the 
Java version of twofish from cryptix, converted it to C++ (don't ask why), 
and enhanced it by adding CBC mode and the ciphertext stealing technique 
from Applied Cryptography (pg. 196) 

How do you use it?

  Machine A: cryptcat -l -p 1234 < testfile 
  Machine B: cryptcat  1234 

This is identical to the normal netcat options for doing exactly the 
same thing.  However, in this case the data transferred is encrypted.

For more information about netcat see net/netcat port.
