I used to use netcat for Windows to help track down network connectivity issues. However these days my anti-virus software (Symantec - but I understand others display similar behaviour) quarantines netcat.exe as malware. Are there any alternative applications which provide at least the following functionality:. can connect to an open TCP socket and send data to it which is typed on the console. can open and listen on a TCP socket and print received data to the console? I don't need the 'advanced' features (which are possibly the reason for the quarantining) such as port scanning or remote execution.

It's an implementation of available on the official site with the port scanning feature removed. Doesn't raise any virus alerts either. From the: Ncat is our modern reinvention of the venerable Netcat (nc) tool released by Hobbit in 1996.
While Ncat is similar to Netcat in spirit, they don't share any source code. Instead, Ncat makes use of Nmap's well optimized and tested networking libraries. Compatibility with the original Netcat and some well known variants is maintained where it doesn't conflict with Ncat's enhancements or cause usability problems. Ncat adds many capabilities not found in Hobbit's original nc, including SSL support, proxy connections, IPv6, and connection brokering. The original nc contained a simple port scanner, but we omitted that from Ncat because we have a preferred tool for that function. I discovered that for Windows has the nc (netcat) command, as well as many other Unix commands, like ls, ps, and kill.
I wholeheartedly recommend MobaXterm, especially if you are familiar with both Unix and DOS. For me, there was nothing to install; it's just one executable that opens a terminal window in Windows that accepts many Unix commands. Since I frequently use both Unix and DOS and often use one to connect to the other, MobaXterm for Windows is an extremely useful tool for me. (Sorry if this sounds like an advertisement; I don't work for nor am I affiliated with MobaXterm.
