ncat --proxy option non-client-server connection issues
hi, iv tried NCat with client->server and everthing worked fine
that is,
what i sent from client to server (client->server) appeared on server
what i sent from server to client (server->client) appeared on client
<code>
server:nc -l -v 31338
client:nc -v grex.org 31338
</code>
then i tried using a proxy (with a 3rd shell) in between, but now connection between client AND server
(client<->server) is broken. that is
what i sent from client to server (client->server) DOES NOT appeared on server
what i sent from server to client (server->client) DOES NOT appeared on client
BUT proxy sees both adresses
NOTE: real IPs are replaced by {0.0.0.0 128.128.128.128 255.255.255.255}
client IP 128.128.128.128
server IP 255.255.255.255
proxy IP 0.0.0.0
i v tried both with/without --proxy-type option and for with --proxy-type iv tried putting "--proxy-type http"
before (b) AND after (c) --proxy option but got the same result;NOTHING
a) without
<code>
ncat -l -vvvvv 31336 # proxy
nc -l -vvvvv 31338 # server
ncat -vvvvv 255.255.255.255 -p 31338 --proxy 0.0.0.0:31336 # client
</code>
b) with before
<code>
ncat -l -vvvvv 31336 # proxy
nc -l -vvvvv 31338 # server
ncat -vvvvv 255.255.255.255 -p 31338 --proxy-type http --proxy 0.0.0.0:31336 # client
</code>
c) with after
<code>
ncat -l -vvvvv 31336 # proxy
nc -l -vvvvv 31338 # server
ncat -vvvvv 255.255.255.255 -p 31338 --proxy 0.0.0.0:31336 --proxy-type http # client
</code>
using -vvvvv option, verbose, on proxy i see
<code>
