Using bash Net-Redirection in bash

InfinityCoder April 4, 2017

You need to send or receive very simple network traffic but you do not have a tool
such as netcat installed.

If you have bash version 2.04+ compiled with –enable-net-redirections (it isn’t
compiled this way in Debian and derivatives), you can use bash itself.

flagged User Agent - reduced functionality

The second line sends a trivial command to a path on the web server defined in the first command.

Note that the user agent will appear as “-” on the web server side, which is what is causing the “flagged User Agent” warning.

The third command simply displays the results.
Both TCP and UDP are supported.

Here is a trivial way to send syslog messages to a remote server (although in production we recommend using the logger utility, which is much more user friendly and robust):

1
echo "<133>$0[$$]: Test syslog message from bash" > /dev/udp/loghost.example.com/514

Since UDP is connectionless, this is actually much easier to use than the previous

TCP example.  <133> is the syslog priority value for local0.notice, calculated according to RFC 3164. S

ee the RFC “4.1.1 PRI Part” and logger manpage for details.

$0 is the name and $$ is the process ID of the current program.

The name will be -bash for a login shell.
