SOCAT - you won't believe what this Linux tool can do!

[@baghdadiabdellatif1581]

Wow. Great work 👌👏👏 Thank you

[@LinuxCloudHacks]

Thank you! Cheers!

Very awesome tutorial. No fluff, straight to the point, with great amounts of detail and visualization to go along with explanations. There is no such thing as too much detail on a subject, when targeting the lowest common denominator audience. It is easy to follow along with the video, due to not having any other distractions or off topic chatter. Thank you. And also the 'accent' was no problem. I'm a 'hick' from southeastern US region and understood the dude just fine. Living in other countries for years and exposure to other folks helps, but the pace of the video was slow, clear and I had no problems understanding.

[@LinuxCloudHacks]

Thank you for such a detailed and kind comment! Thanks again for watching and for the encouragement-it means a lot!

[@artyshan5944]

Super clean and comprehensible explanation. Thank you!

[@LinuxCloudHacks]

Glad you liked it! I'm planning to release more interesting videos from Linux/Networking domain including nftables firewall, nginx reverse proxy with SSL certificates, K8s networking, policy based routing, IPv6, docker/virtualization, hardware flow offloading and more. I'll be also starting a series about GCP Cloud. Stay tuned!

Thanks for watching

[@SDNTechForum]

It only gets better. Great video!

[@LinuxCloudHacks]

I'm glad you like it! More interesting videos to come! Now working on Linux BBR TCP congestion control algorithm demo. Should be there later this week.

[@JonBrookes]

this is an excellent video and explanation, thanks ! It goes well with your other videos on wireguard too, I like how you show socat to create persistent tunnels, very cool.

[@LinuxCloudHacks]

Thank you so much for the kind words!

Very very useful data . Thanks .

Very nice explained and shown. Huge thnx!

keep up the good work!

[@LinuxCloudHacks]

Thanks! I plan to go more into the Cloud and K8s but first need to finish my Nftables, Linux, Docker and Wireguard series. I was also considering doing some step by step network troubleshooting video. Stay tuned for more interesting content.

Amazing video. I just subscribed to your channel.

[@LinuxCloudHacks]

Awesome, thank you!

[@enricomariadeangelis2130]

7:31 : why the reply from node 2 only reaches node 1 and not node 3?

[@LinuxCloudHacks]

Hi! NODE2 is the server (mode = tcp4-listen). Both NODE1 and NODE3 are the clients (mode = tcp4).

[@enricomariadeangelis2130]

​​@@LinuxCloudHacks, yeah, and why don't both node1 and node3 receive node2's reply?

[@LinuxCloudHacks]

Unfortunatelly socat tcp4-listen does not "broadcast" responses to all clients. Instead, it responds only to the most recently connected client.

[@N3krodamus]

This channel deserves so many more subscriptors. Here is mine.

Thank you! Appreciate it!

[@makaronimakaroni7192]

Hello how can I take all of the traffic that comes trough server one and forward it to server two, multiple IPV6s (lets say 10 IPV6s) and load balance it though all of the IPV6s ?

[@LinuxCloudHacks]

Hi! Not sure if I understand the question correctly but if you want to balance incoming traffic to multiple IPs on backed I recommend HAProxy. I'm planning to do a video about it. Please reply back if you would be interested. Config would look more or less like this: frontend app bind :::80 default_backend app backend app balance roundrobin server server1 [IPv6_ADDRESS_1]:80 check server server2 [IPv6_ADDRESS_2]:80 check ... server server10 [IPv6_ADDRESS_10]:80 check

netcat 😢

[@LinuxCloudHacks]

Hi there! Thanks for the comment. Netcat is still a fantastic tool that I use on daily basis. I may create a short video on what netcat can do.

[@_marcobaez]

Good but a tonnnnnn of specific info given at once and VERY hard to understand accent bro sorry

[@LinuxCloudHacks]

Thanks for the feedback! I apologize that the information came across a bit fast and my accent made it harder to understand.

[@_marcobaez]

@@LinuxCloudHacks Maybe there could be a video of the basics of Socat? 😃😃

[@LinuxCloudHacks]

Marco, SOCAT can be used in various places: to pass/proxy data, convert protocols, offload SSL, etc. It can be used as a simple server or even as a "reverse shell". Do you have any particular use case in mind? Or is there any particular issue you try to solve with socat? If yes then I'd be happy to make a video about it. Cheers!

[@_marcobaez]

@@LinuxCloudHacks hey bro! One thing I would love to learn is how to use SOCAT with Tor and encryption, to do reverse shells 🙂

[@LinuxCloudHacks]

Sure thing. I'll prepare something soon.
