Re: How does one connect to a shell (cmd.exe) bound to a port on a remote machine?

[Tomas Wolf <tomas () skip cz>]

I would look at netcat... It is being reffered to as a "network swiss 
knife". It is a nice tool, not perl though... You can set it to:
nc -d -l -p 23 -e cmd.exe

that will open your "shell" to any telnet. If you want to bound it to a 
port on a remote machine I would try:

nc -d -l -p 23 -e cmd.exe [hostname] [port]

I think it is a pretty cool toy... I don't know it as much as I should...
Yep. It works, I have just tried it.
Search for netcat @ www.atstake.com --> it is free download
