socat: The General Bidirectional Pipe Handler

linux-howto

http://linux.com – The socat command shuffles data between two locations. One way to think of socat is as the cat command which transfers data between two locations rather than from a file to standard output. (Software)

socat udp client server 7 weeks 4 days ago

Following http://jdimpson.livejournal.com/6812.html, I've socat UDP client-server set as following:

socat as a UDP server on port 11111.

socat STDIO UDP-LISTEN:11111

and then as a UDP client.

socat - UDP:localhost:11111

Now the question is that when I write from client, server gets the data via UDP. But UDP is unidirectional.

creating secure tunnel with socat 25 weeks 20 hours ago

How we can create secure tunnels multicast with socat?

Assume we have a list of ip address, CIDR network addresses that we want to create secure tunnel to them.

I found this

socat STDIO UDP4-DATAGRAM:224.1.0.1:6666,range=192.168.10.0/24

but I want a secure tunnel and different adds with net addrs

I want to create script that give the IPs and net addresses and create secure tunnel

./myscript

socat: Arbitrary code execution

Managing and using PTSes 32 weeks 2 days ago

Hello.

I need to simulate a few serial links (doing a simulation of an application for a robot) and found socat which, at least with minicom, is working flawlessly.

I would really like to make pts static: ie same numbers between reboots, and automatic (not me opening terminals and leaving them with empty socat windows). Is there a way for this?

Or maybe there is a (super easy!) way of replicati

I'm working on embedded ARM platform, Slackware.

From the man page, socat allows me to open a TCP tunnel to the SSL target using the proxy option. Unfortunately, that is only half of the solution.

Further research shows that socat2 addresses this usage case using address chains. However socat2 is still in beta and not yet readily available for a number of platforms.

How can I send data (e.g.

I am looking for a command line tool that listens on a given part, happily excepts every HTTP POST request and dumps it.

I want to use it for testing purposes, i.e. for testing clients that issue HTTP POST requests.

That means I am searching the counterpart to curl -F (which I can use to send test HTTP POSTs to a HTTP server).

Perhaps something like socat TCP4-LISTEN:80,fork,bind=127.0.0.1 ...
